So I’m in the bonanza on my way to San Diego. Upon reaching cruise at 10,000 feet I looked at my EGT gauge at it was still at 0. After clicking for about 5 minutes it hadn’t budged. Went into the maintenance hangar to see if it had failed. It hadn’t. Needless to say, I was cruising with full rich mixture. I’m starting to think I need to go to sleep instead of flying.

Will the maintenance hanger tell you if an instrument has failed while still in flight? I always understood that information to be hidden while in flight.

It did for me. On my my 1st flight, my artificial horizon failed. I went into the hangar and clicked inspect, then I clicked the instruments section and it came right up.

That’s probably my own fault for assuming, and never really trying to check what might be wrong while actually in flight!

Interesting because in the Comanche I checked the hanger whilst in flight and it was red tinged with a message saying I could not look whilst in flight!
I had damage on if that makes a difference

Probably why he knew he needed to get some sleep!

Oh yes. I figure my reading comprehension would benefit from good night's worth of sleep as well!Jacques wrote:Probably why he knew he needed to get some sleep!

could have been the lack of oxygen up there...
