Yesterday I had the good fortune to have a pilot I like and respect fly with me as a safety pilot.
We took off, and at 200', he simulated a vacuum pump failure (I have no backup) with stickies over the gyros and disabling the PC while I went "under the hood".
What a work out! Uh.....now where exactly is that trun coordinator? Oh! There it is.
We "diverted" to my takeoff alternate about 20 miles away and shot an LPV approach to minimums, a missed approach and then an ILS approach to minimums followed by another missed approach to "VMC" (removed the hood).
I had no idea an hour of Mooney time could last so long!
