Surely non-electric would be even better ! Unfortunately the PFA have just
rejected the pipette gauge (see postings in 9/97 and ftp) on the grounds that
"it should not require any action from the pilot apart from looking at it"
(this was lifting it from the stowed position)
and they are unconvinced about "the wisdom of relying on a seal of this type"
(neoprene ring).
Ah well, never mind , I am testing another device which uses only existing
standard aircraft components.,This may fit the bill and might not be a duck
