[LML] LNC2 in IMC
3. VisionMicro fuel gauge on left wing
showed erroneous values. I topped off the tanks and it only
showed 10 gallons. Upon landing, it showed 0 gallons, but still
had 10 gallons. Today, gauges is back to
normal.!!???
Last year when I was still flying off my 40 hours, after flying
around about 3 hours above 10,000 ft in the clear, I returned to land
with about 7 to 8 gallons in the mains. After landing, the right main
tank showed zero gallons. After about an hour of sitting in the
hanger, I turned on the master to check again, and the level was
normal at 7 gallons. I haven't had the problem since (180 hours on
the plane).
After reading the other posts on this subject, I think it could
maybe have been some condensation forming on the fuel-level board.
The OAT was very cold that day (last year, early spring), and I made
my descent fairly quickly from above 10K to SL, so it's possible
condensation formed on the board.
A few months ago, I started working on my
instrument rating using my Lancair 360 and am towards the end of my
training (checkride is scheduled for next week).
Rick, I just started my instrument rating -- passed the written
a couple of weeks ago. Could you comment on how you fly an ILS in a
360 (speeds, power settings, when the gear and flaps come down,
etc.). Thanks.
