And the only vacuum failure I ever had was during climb-out right before entering the soup, where the standby system likely would have been useless. Not really so. I can hold level at 8000 and climb at 400 to 500 at 3000 while getting 3 inches of vac with the precise flight standby vac. So it depends on the alt of the airport. Here in Ohio we don't have those 5000 ft airports. Chuck |

Here in Ohio we don't have those 5000 ft airports. Chuck I was at about 8,000 feet at the time of the failure on a climb to 10 or 11 can't remember which now. I doubt I could have maintained sufficient vacuum during climb at those altitudes. Possible, but I wouldn't have wanted to have to count on it. However, I'm still a Precise Flight fan as even having vacuum during a descent to land is a lot better than flying partial panel. Matt |
