CONT

The gyro, of an attitude indicator that is driven by a vacuum system, requires 4 or more inches of mercury vacuum to operate and 5 minutes to get up to operational speed. An attitude indicator that is electrically driven is operational almost immediately.

CONT

Air pressure differential is the principle on which the vacuum driven gyro instruments operate. A vacuum pump run by the airplane engine creates a partial vacuum in the system. A filtered air inlet upstream of the gyros allows air to rush into the system causing the gyro wheels to spin.

  • vacuum operated
