An STEC A/P is a reasonable substitute for a backup electric AI. It is a rate
based system that runs on the trun coordinator gyro, so if you AI or vacuum system goes T-U, George can keep the shiny side up and even track nav-aids for you while you monitor the partial panel. Richard Kaplan wrote: "Frode Berg" wrote in message ... What would be the most immediate need to safely fly IFR single pilot, single engine? Where will you fly? If thunderstorms will be present at all then the Stormscope is clearly first to get utility out of your plane. Second is a backup electric AI. Third is an autopilot. Last is an IFR GPS -- this allows you to fly direct but does not otherwise add more utility or safety that you do not have with your existing equipment. -- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.
