Let's face it: while everyone trains to fly needle, ball and airspeed, doing it in an emergency is a very different matter. In a recent study by the AOPA Air Safety Foundation, a majority of pilots—regardless of skill or experience—were unable to recover from a vacuum failure in a simulator. An electric backup attitude indicator is the only way to assure true redundancy.
And now the FAA agrees. After 14 years of lobbying on the part of Sporty's, the FAA issued an Advisory Circular (AC91-75) click here to view that allows and encourages the installation of a backup attitude indicator. In their words, "Substituting a second attitude indicator (with a power source independent from the primary attitude indicator) for the rate-of-turn indicator will provide an increased level of safety."
