What pretakeoff check should be made of a vacuum driven heading indicator in preparation for an IFR flight?
After 5 minutes, set the indicator to the magnetic heading of the aircraft and check for proper alignment after taxi turns.
1307
(Refer to figure 146. The DG shows a right turn. OAT is -1*C.) Identify the system that has failed and determine a corrective action to return the airplane to straight-and-level.
Static/pitot system is BLOCKED; lower the nose and level the wings to level flight attitude by use of attitude indicator, apply power, and turn on the pitot heat to unblock.
