The AA3215CC-9 is a FAA-PMA approved engine-driven dry air vacuum pump from the Tempest Tornado 3000 series, designed for general aviation aircraft vacuum systems.

It provides suction for gyroscopic flight instruments (attitude indicator, directional gyro, etc.) and is a direct-fit variant of the AA3215CC family with a specific configuration (-9 model code) used for certain aircraft installations.

Key features include:

FAA-PMA certified dry vacuum pump
Engine-driven (accessory case mounted)
“Dry air” design (no internal oil lubrication)
Wear Indicator Port (WIP) for vane inspection
LRT oil diversion system to prevent contamination
Closed-front design to reduce oil ingress and failures
Improved cooling fin design for thermal stability
Balanced rotor system for reduced vibration
Designed for light aircraft vacuum systems (Cessna, Piper, etc.)
High reliability for IFR flight instrument operation
