A recent plane crash in Canada was caused by instrument failure, according to preliminary findings of the Transportation Safety Board. The Board found that "pilot Regan Williams was virtually flying blind after both the autopilot and gyroscope (sic) malfunctioned during a flight early last Friday."
Here's my question. If the gyro horizon fails can you not use the turn and bank indicator along with the other instruments? Isn't the turn and bank driven separately than the gyro horizon? I seem to recall that Lindbergh flew the Atlantic without a gyro horizon. Thanks in advance.
