Mechanical Vario or not?
Fish a écrit: I am considering dropping a Winter Vario from my panel . I have a Glide computer and primary electric vario on board as well, as an Ilec electric. Just trying to lose some weight from the cockpit. Any PRO's or CONS's I need to know about regarding reliability and redundancy in flight......batteries in the cold etc?? Cheers Fish In most European countries (including France) a pneumatic vario is mandatory - and I think its a good idea when I count the times the saiplane battery went dead in long flights!
