    New to the Turbine Duke. Was doing the runup and went to zoom out my view while testing cabin pressurization. I slipped and clicked something, but I have no idea what. Then the Instrument Air failure lights lit up and when I did the deice boots check, the gauge didn't' register any pressure.

    The Instrument Air Failure checklist says to check instrument air sources. I spent 20 minutes panning around the cockpit, but couldn't find anything. Manual doesn't seem to have any info, other than mentioning a backup electrical air pump, but I couldn't find a circuit breaker for that. Even tried checking the engine snyoptics page on the tablet, but didn't see anything there, either.

    Please help. Thanks!

      I do not believe there is anything you could click in the cockpit that would trigger an instrument air failure. Unless there is something I missed in the manual in another section, the Instrument Air Indicator section states "there is no additional electric standby instrument air pump." If you were using the in-game checklist, clicking the eye icon next to the "check instrument air sources" list item would have focused and highlighted the instrument air needle, as this is all that is meant by "check sources". In the reciprocating engine version of the aircraft, there is a toggle switch adjacent top the gauge for checking the pressure from each engine, but the turbine version removes this switch. Did you check the failures page on the tablet or the weather radar display to see if this was a failure event, and not something that you triggered from a misclick?

        @Black-Square - Thanks. Sure enough, it was a failure and I misread the manual.
