Accuracy is +/- 25 RPM from 1000 to 3000 RPM. Determine the correct part number from the chart below. All Mitchell tachs are FAA approved to TSO-C49b for certified aircraft. 10-02354 for custom range marks (specify ranges, 45 day lead time). 10-02479 to set hours (specify hours, 45 day lead time). Direction of rotation is defined as when viewing the front of the tachometer. |

Reviews
Good service and delivery
I bought this tach to replace an old failed unit. The old hardware was not usable on the new tach, and I recommend the available instrument install kit which uses a ring with 4 swagged nuts...make a simple install.!!

Instrument arrived alive and on time. Price was the price everything in aviation is pricey, so no opinion there. The instrument is installed but due to weather, hasnt been operated. The mechanic had a bit of trouble installing it directly into the Aeronca 7AC panel hole some modifications were required. Overall, the rating is favorably neutral until we can use it in flight---spring, perhaps. Aloha.
Had the Tach Time set. Numbers misaligned. Shipped it back to Mitchell whose response is that is the way they are. Had markings put on the tach but they are not visible looking at the tach from the pilots seating position. I would spend the extra money and get a different tach.
Purchased this tach to replace one that was reading low on the rpm. Did my runup and took off and it started to indicate 0.1 hours before falling back to 0.0. then it accumulated 0.2 hrs before falling back to 0.0 It took and hour to put it in and another to take it back out. Now I have to pay again to send it back to Mitchel for warranty service. This is getting expensive. I think I would have come out ahead buying a used tach on Ebay.
