amekler Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 My 2000 Bravo KI 525A GS is sticking. Does anyone have a working one they have for sale? Not ready for a Garmin 275 yet. Alan Quote

Alan GS sticking is a common problem with these units. You can verify that it is stuck and not otherwise inoperative by reaching under the panel and tapping the case while on an ILS and seeing if the GS needles track the glide slope once freed up. The problem is that the stops need cleaning. I took the case off mine and fixed it myself years ago when I had one of those. The mechanism is pretty simple and it’s obvious once you take the case off. For sure Bevan can fix that if you don’t want to do it yourself. Quote
amekler Posted February 17 Author Report Posted February 17 Thanks I’ve tried taping and it comes down and it seems to match my other indicator I ‘ve also tried cycling it on the ils on the ground between vloc and gps a bunch of times Alan Quote

FoxMike Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 I have 525A system that will be removed in the next couple of weeks. Bob Bramble overhauled the unit several years ago and and I have used it for about 500Hrs. The unit has 2300 total hours. I keep my 1999 Bravo hangared so the unit has suffered little over its life. 525A was factory installed in 1999. Let me know if you have interest. I also have a KI 256 again overhauled by Bramble at the same time as the HSI. Planning dual KI 275 install in March. Want to talk my number is 303 886 4575. Quote

Jake@BevanAviation Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 Very common issue. Use your favorite instrument shop if they support the KI-525 for evaluation and repair. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do here for that system. 1 Quote

Jake is their autopilot guy, and is a constant contributor to MooneySpace. I just thought some other part of Bevan's organization might work on the KI-525. Quote
