Black Square Analog Question

Featured Replies

I've got both the King Air and Bonanza Black Square Analog's. In both aircraft after about 10 mins of flight the avionics go dark or blank. Can some please explain to me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this. I've tried both the battery and avionics master with no luck. Thanks guys!

I can only comment on the KingAir: you need to perform the start-up procedure as follows:

- Start engine 2, mixture lever to low after 20%NG

- Shortly after 50%NG, when the engine instruments make a small jump, switch off the starter button for engine 2 and switch on generator 2. At night, reset gen ties.

- Repeat for engine 1.

- Switch on both inverters and check voltage and annunciators.

Do you have anything mapped to your controls?

Alternator?

AFAIK, you do not just "switch on" the generators but have to reset them first.

I have to agree with Peter, specifically this:

 

- Shortly after 50%NG, when the engine instruments make a small jump, switch off the starter button for engine 2 and switch on generator 2. At night, reset gen ties 

And repeat for eng 1.

This is correct for the King Air. Just selecting the On position doesn't get the generators on-line.

Also, if the Generator(s) are not on-line, you'll have an annunciator light illuminated.

Right you are. I fly the KingAir a lot and that operation became a single move in my mind. I wrote that post from memory 🙂
