So if I understand correctly; switching off the master would mean there is no electrical power to systems like landing light, anti collision lights, pitot heat and fuel pump?
If the engine were to fail in-flight or if it was shut down in-flight, would the BAT-ALT switch need to be 'on' to restart it? Is it advisable to turn it off after a CB pops? Additionally, is the switch required to be 'on' for take-off?
I am an aerospace engineering student and an aspiring pilot. I am currently working on an assignment and I wanted to understand these components and their functionalities in greater detail.
Could a battery failure in flight lead to engine stalling/misbehaving on the Piper Arrow 2 aircraft? The circuit breakers that popped are 'Alternator' and 'Engine Group'. I am trying to understand if there is a correlation between CB popping-battery failure and engine stalling/misbehaving for...
What does it mean if the circuit breakers are popped for the 'Alternator' and 'Engine Group'? What is their function? Can engine failure in-flight be linked to these circuit breakers? Please explain.
