Bob et all,
One of the first things every builder is told to do when designing the
electrical system for their OBAM aircraft is to determine the type of
flying they intend to do, figure out what equipment they need to
comfortably fly that way, determine the CONTINUOUS load of that equipment,
and size your bus's, wires, fuses, alternators, batteries, etc. accordingly.
It is information that seems pretty hard to come by in most manufacturers
specs, yet supposedly everyone who has designed a panel and electrical
system to support it has needed this info. Where did they get it?
It seems to me that one of the most valuable resources that could be made
a permanent yet updatable part of this list either in the FAQ's, or
archives, or somewhere, would be a list of the most commonly used
equipment (I don't think it would really be that long ) and continuous
load numbers for that equipment. I'm not saying this should necessarily be
a job for you (although your contributions would certainly be welcome),
but just a have this forum as a home for the list.
It could be a categorized list ( Nav/Coms, Coms, Transponders, MFD's,
EFIS's, T&B's etc.) and be something that subscribers could add to, and
update as they found numbers for new equipment as it hit the market, yet
the older equipment would still be there for those not using the latest,
and greatest in their plane.
Is there some place that you or anyone else on this list knows of where
this info is readily available?
Thanks for your thoughts, and any light you can shed.

that's been discussed. A number of members on the List
have published their load analysis data. I've posted a few
of them at:

What you're suggesting would be a great resource
and as I recall, some folks volunteered to compile
the list . . . but it has not been discussed in some
time.
