I did a leak test on my instruments and plumbing because I suspect my
ASI to be indicating low. I was surprised to find a rather large leakage through the MNAV. I understand why the MNAV leaks, but would welcome input from others on whether my observations are normal or not before I open the instrument. Without the MNAV, the total pressure line holds the pressure very well. If I include the MNAV, I am losing total pressure at a rate of about 10knots/4sec (rough estimate, at 100knots). I didn’t add an additional capacity to the pressure line to stabilize the pressure. I do not need input on true vs. indicated airspeed. But I would welcome input from others who have looked at such instrument leakages as well. Regards, Thomas |
