Twice now the power to all my electronics in the Cessna C208b (Black Square Analog version) has been lost halfway thru a 160 mile flight. The engine keeps running and controls work but no instruments or readouts.

Is this a common thing? Probably some kind of failure in the aircraft.

Has anyone had this issue and have a suggestion as to what to do about it?

Thank you.

Sounds to me like the battery went flat (dead). Check that you had the generator(s) on. and the busses configures correctly.

The engine will continue to run as it is a turbo prop and in normal operation in cruise it is self sustaining. (no ign required)

 The controls are purely manual so they wont be affected.

It looks to me like the generator being on is the default position but I may have turned it off by mistake. I will make sure it is on and  will need to try a longer flight to see if I have the problem again.

Thank you for the reply.
