Highlights

Electrical Malfunction Detection
September 12, 2025 During a night flight with a student we received an ammeter discharge. While my student flew the aircraft I attempted to diagnose the issue and see if we could fix it using the appropriate checklists and procedures. I discovered that with the lights required for night flight on, our gps and avionics, plus the internal cabin lights was too much load for the alternator to keep up with. To fix this issue I turned off the internal cabin lights and we were able to continue the flight as planned.
