Narrative:

During the takeoff roll below 80 KIAS; captain side ADI lost blue/brown color and showed red att and heading. I called for the abort; retarded pl; and taxied off of the runway with minimal braking. The first officer and I preformed the emergency/non-normal att (red) or att and heading (red) checklist. On completion of the first circuit breaker reset the problem was fixed; which ended the procedure. We waited 15 minutes for the abort/normal braking and flew without issue. I don't know why the saabs do what they do at lga. I flew the aircraft on the next flight from lga without issue.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: An SF340 Captain rejected a takeoff for ADI failure. A non normal checklist was used to reset the ADI and the flight departed after 15 minutes for brake cooling. The Captain indicates that this type of failure is common at LGA but not at most other airports.
