Aztec Driver
Line Up and Wait
I hate irritating little squawks that keep coming at you.
I took a flight to drop off another plane for service. The other pilot was then going to take me up for some dual and practice approaches. Because of my anal retentive, safety concious mind, I shut down the right engine so he could get in without the possibility of getting sliced and diced. Apparently, however, the left engine generator is not working, as we had no power for a restart. Finally managed to get a very nice airport manager with his van to help jump start the battery. Got the right engine started to check its generator. At least that one works. So now I need to have that repaired. I guess I will pour money into this bird for upgrades a little sooner than expected. An STC for alternators is available. I think I will look into that.
