Pre-takeoff checklist
I'm looking at an aircraft that has been recently redone with an entire suite of electronic instruments including Aspen PFD & MFDs and EI MVP-50P engine gauges.
My question is how would an A&P doing a pre-buy for me validate the accuracy of the configuration of the equipment? For example, how would they be able to verify that the MP shown on the gauge is the true MP; likewise, the temps, pressures, fuel flows, etc? And the info presented on the Aspens is accurate, like airspeed, etc?
I guess I'll need to find someone who's familiar with the equipment...but considering the equipment is somewhat rare that may mot be the easiest thing to do, especially within the range allowed to reposition the plane for the pre-buy.
