If the crew did mis-position switches and ran their battery down, it stands to reason that they would be reluctant to advertise the error . . . assuming also that they even know what brought it about.
So much useful information lost in the noise.

Bob brings up an interesting point. In this country, self-disclosure is encouraged, and, I would hope, common, thanks to NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System and our airline industry's Aviation Safety Action Programs. Does anyone know if the Canadian aviation system has anything similar?

Yeah . . . there's a LOT of things we'd like
to know not the least of which is a time-line
from wheels-up to wheels-on-the-ground.
As I've illustrated in several paragraph-by-paragraph
reviews, (of "dark-n-stormy-night" stories
in the popular journals) these stories offer
no useful information/advice to the reader/pilot
who eagerly digests the narrative with the hope
of propping up their own decisions in a similar
situation.
I'll suggest they do more harm than good.
If there's a point to be made from
virtually ALL of the past century of electrical
system hangar-tales, it's NOT to make mental/mechanical
preparations for dealing with the same issue . . .
it's all about making sure it can't happen in
YOUR airplane.
The owner/pilot that understands their electrical
system (especially those who configured and crafted
it) would for the most part never suffer the
indignities experienced by these authors in the
first place!
Instead of worrying about it, fix it.
