aviatoreb Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 My primary vacuum pump is due to replace based on time in service. I know I know - I should dump the whole vacuum system by getting some entirely new panel - but I am still seemingly in indecisive mode on that. So I'm buying a vacuum pump for now. It is a p/n aa3216cw. I don't know much about pumps - the ins and outs of which are the good ones, the bad ones, the ones to avoid. The boutique best ones, etc. What should I get - speaking of a drop in replacement only. Thanks! E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertGary1 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 It’s curious to me when people get rid of the simple vacuum system. I have two independent AHRS units with independent batteries in my cockpit but don’t dislike having the vacuum attitude too. I even have a voice monitor for it “check... gyro vacuum”. I used tempest pumps. I’ve had bad luck with the rebuilt pumps. -Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a $25-45k decision I will make eventually. But right now - I will punt - I will maintain the equipment I have. So back to the question - vacuum pumps.

Rapco brand isn't bad either. -Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
