Enigma problem...

Postby Aerosan » Sun Feb 01, 2015 5:36 pm

Hi guys

While flying this morning my Enigma nearly gave me a heart attack. I was at 6500ft when suddenly the VSI indicated +2350 and in one second I found myself at 23700 ft! some record Ill say (**) when on finals the negative was happening, descending at more than 2000ft per minute is not for the feint at heart :lol: Has anybody ever experienced this? the airspeed seems to be ok in fact the rest of the readings were fine as I have steam to verify them. It was just the ALT and VSI that went crazy.

Help :?: :shock:

Cheers

Hey Sanna
If you have a static line fitted to the Enigma, check for a blockage there, may even be just a drop of water.

Hope you had oxygen in the plane at 23000'.
CAA will have to come and inspect the installation......... ##
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two
