That would show up in other ways -- really fast.They must have put the battery in backwards.

The "plug and play" preventive maintenance rule applies only to "self-contained, front instrument panel-mounted navigation and communication devices that employ tray-mounted connectors that connect the unit when the unit is installed into the instrument panel," The T&B instrument isn't such a device.I would have thought a PP could fix this under the "plug and play" rules.
...It always bothers me when people call the Turn Indicator a Turn and Bank...
And of course the "regulator" was nowhere to be seen. THere ARE NO REGULATORS in civilian single-voltage instruments. YOur military background notwithstanding, we do NOT use regulators in civilian instruments.
THanks,

I understand that sentiment, but I think the original theory of instrument flying taught by Howard Stark had the pilot turning with rudder to achieve the standard rate then banking to center the "ball-bank indicator" (inclinometer), hence, "turn and bank". Sperry originally dubbed the T&B a "Turn Indicator" though. There's some interesting weather observations in the above link re: flight through T-storms.It always bothers me when people call the Turn Indicator a Turn and Bank. Turn and Slip is closer. It really doesn't show bank directly.
