Flying

General

perform LSE black box check

install ADI backup battery

splice into blue wire that goes from 430 to pin 17 of VSGV and run it to pin 6 on the ADI, finalize logbook sticker and apply to logbook

make rudder gust lock

B&C electrical questions:

- if main alternator fails, what is the indication? (if SB20 is ok, voltage may be maintained over 12.5V, right?)

- if main alternator fails, pull (field?) breaker?  Pull warning light breaker to stop annunciation, right?

- what is the low voltage threshold for the SB1B-14 VR?

 

Maintenance

next cowling off/oil change: clean oil screen

drain right tank and figure out why fuel test valve flow is poor

drain carb at carburetor

filter inspection (and 35 hrs oil change one too)

 

Condition inspection

trim copilot stick, install connector for stick removal
