I really don’t think a photo from some time ago taken of a panel of an unpowered electric or vacuum artificial horizon is evidence enough to say that it wasn’t working ! Let alone even hint that it was the cause!
It might shock some out there to know that some aircraft in this country that are rated for NVFR don’t even have an AH fitted !!!
