What is this AI?

[455 Bravo Uniform]

My documentation is at the hangar, so I'm sure I could figure this out later, but for now: Is this an electric AI? (pic taken engine off, no vacuum). I would have expected if vac operated to be tilted off to the side? I have an STEC 60-2 autopilot and from what I understand those are run off of the turn coordinator (rate based)? But this clearly has the STEC logo on the front.

I thought you were talking about artificial intelligence. It is the hot topic right now, according to Musk...

Doh! That should've been obvious.

Mine's not leaned over like in that picture.

What started my question to begin with was that in-flight it is not 100% level when my wings are level.

Gyro's might be going bad or it needs to be calibrated. Hopefully you're not doing any IMC flying with it like that.

No, I'm not IFR rated. Not using the autopilot yet either (only used it with a CFI onboard when bringing the plane home).
