HaldenG Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I have a KI 525A HSI that has been getting an intermittent HDG flag and today has stopped moving altogether. The HDG flag fluctuates off and on when I mess with the KA 51A slaving meter but as of today no movement in the HSI even when I try to manually turn it with the slaving meter so I'm not sure where the problem may lie. Does anyone have any recommendations for a fix as well as any avionics shop recommendations around Las Vegas and the surrounding areas?

carusoam Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 @Jeev is in the area... seeing if he can join the conversation. Sounds like chasing a loose wire may be needed? Does the HSI not indicate a turn with the plane? (Something I have seen before) PP thoughts only, not an instrument hardware guy...

HaldenG Posted October 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 It used to indicate a turn (just not on the correct heading with an intermittent HDG flag), but today it didn't move at all. Also, today was the first flight in approximately 3 months due to some engine repairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeev Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 It does sound like a loose or corroded connection or pin. Unfortunately we don’t have a full avionics shop yet. I do have good contract avionics guy on the field at VGT but he may be busy for the next week or so. Pm me and I will give you his info. If you need something faster I highly recommend Bob Webber at webair consulting. He is highly experienced and can usually diagnose things like this over the phone. I use him a lot :http://www.webairconsulting.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
