People need to realize that partial panel is an EMERGENCY. If it ever happens in real life IMC, and you identify the problem without killing yourself, the last thing you want to do is shoot an approach. If at all possible, give consideration to no-gyro radar vectors to VFR conditions so you can focus on flying the airplane.

Civil pilots don't pay enough attention to this service that's available at many fields, especially the ASR. Will definately lighten your workload by keeping the majority of your attention to flying the plane, vice having to navigate too.

Indeed take the ASr approach. I have only done one in my training and I have to say the controllers are extremely helpful. If I was partial panel and one was available, I would take that in a minute.
