Pmedic548 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 It seems like after 15 min or so the backup horizon starts to tumble. I don't recall ever having an issue with it before, but now its very unstable. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHOGX5 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Had the same earlier today. Very strange behaviour. -Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies. However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

This could be a bug with battery power, or operator fault although you need to be blind to not see a battery failure. If what you're seeing is slight drift, this can occur with vertical manoeuvres. Can you please specify what you mean with tumble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango3B Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It has to be the vertical maneuver component that causes OP's problem. I see the same thing when flying maneuvers in excess of 9G. Then the backup attitude indicator tends to develop drift. Wouldn't say this is a bug. This is more like a feature, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
