There does seem to be a feeling out there that unless you have a full complement of Garmin Gloss you don’t have a properly equipped aircraft. I have a later F33A with similar avionics fit which I love. Thank you also for being an IFR flyer with a more traditionally equipped aircraft.
@@andyjgreen I agree that you are certainly properly equipped with a standard six pack and vacuum system. But surely, we can agree that glass is a lot safer in the long run. Vacuum pumps fail, and not all in the same way.
The airplane has a primary (engine driven) and a separate backup (electric) instrument air pump (no vacuum pump - they are both positive pressure) and a backup attitude indicator. I am not arguing with anyone's opinion; just clarifying the equipment.
Thank you for being one of the only TH-camrs to fly IFR with a vacuum system with non fancy avionics and autopilot. Love your content!
Why do you think that is a good thing? I hope Eric gets rid of that vacuum as soon as he is able TBH.

@ Thanks Eric. That should provide some comfort. I do hope you upgrade to all glass one day!
Eric, you have WAY too many GPS Navigators on your plane! 😜🤣 I LOVE it. Thank you for great content!!
