Caravan Tech Q's

Hi all,

Just have a couple of questions regarding a few points I am struggling with on the van. I have my hands on the flight safety manual but it is lacking a few pieces of info.

First is with regards to the Vacuum system. The flt safety manual highlights that a vacuum system powers the left AI and the right DI but doesn't mention how the remaining gyro instruments are powered. Are they powered by the electrical system or a second vacuum system? (disregarding the turn coordinators)

Second is in relation to the vortex generators. Does the manual specify a maxumum number that can be missing (from the elevator in particular) before performance is affected or any other limitations set in?

Thanks in advance for the help
S&T
