 |
|
The Civil Air Patrol flies a fleet of 182T's with the G1000 panel.
We have the ability to isolate every device to OFF while using the G1000
via a custom AUX switch for the Garmin suite.
The planes have a ground power receptacle built in, to which
we would attach a regular 10 amp battery charger. This works
well via an adapter with regular battery clamps - i.e., clamp-to-clamp.
You can built a more elegant rigging, I am sure.
See Garmin current specs, attached below.
We could upgrade/update the gps data set, train on the G1000
and even look at current weather to validate our flight plan for
Go / No Go decision making. This is a great luxury to be able
to sit on the ground and accomplish all these tasks without
turning over the engine.
Bob stated that he doesn't recommend this setup.
Bob, would you elaborate on any issues that might results from this setup?
Best regards,
John Markey
