ReplyDeleteAgreed. If it can fly keep it flying to the nearest airport. Sometimes it's a faulty gauge.

Nobody except a Cirrus pilot whose oil pressure gage read zero so he pulled his hute. Seems it was a faulty sending unit as there was nothing else wrong with engine other than power pulled back and chute deployed.
