Old video now but massively educational for me, now getting into x-plane. It’s fantastic to hear about the depth of realism in simulating these systems.

Thank you and congratulations. Your videos are awesome ! You must be a very good pilot, it’s clear for everyone. Your are also an X-Plane expert, we all agree with that. But, for sure, you are a very, very good teacher. That makes your videos so brillant. Your explanations are clear and concise. Please continue. We have a lot to learn.

IRL, avionic buses do not turn off the flaps, the fuel pump or the annunciator (warning) lights, they are not avionics. They are all connected to electrical bus #1 instead (C172SP POH).

Great presentation! Unless I missed it, you didnt show system voltage with the alt off, should be about 24 volts. With alt back on should be about 28 volts charging with pressure to make sure batt is fully charged at at 24volts. Also with stock X-plane 11 cessna 172, you cant turn off batt side of master switch without turning off alt side also. Again, thanks for presentation.

Very interesting! I think I'd like to understand the engine a bit more. I didn't quite grasp how the spark was still being generated when all electronics were switched off. I think my confusion is in that I am not familiar with how magnetos work. I might do some youtubing to see if there are and visual explanations. Then I'll come back to this clip. Thanks!

Yes that’s a good approach. Understanding that the magneto is like a mini alternator helps conceptually.

thanks for the video and to the first question: you'd lose avionics, lights, and gauges. but your engine would stay.

I keep getting the volts light and I have no clue why it turns on. I’m new to the sim/flying in general, even on tutorial it sudden turns on and doesn’t turn off. I only have the yoke from honeycomb. Any help on this? I searched the manual, it says what it is but does not tell me how to solve it. Thanks

The “Volts” light indicates that the alternator is indicating a discharge. It is often seen when running a very low RPM with a heavy electrical load (like during taxi). In this case, it just means that the engine isn’t spinning the alternator at a rate sufficient to keep the battery charging. Is this when it’s happening for you? If so, try throttling up some, maybe to around 1000rpm.

@MizaProductions1

clayviation it happens on all the tutorials, about 1 minute in the air, it’s starts to do this sound and turns the volts light on, yet I have my rpm at around 2200rpm as I climb to 1500 ft.

Great information thank you, but in real 172 you cannot move battery to off without the alternator.

Hi Clay, awesome tutorial :) Quick question and I apologize if I didn't understand something that you've explained in this tutorial. I understood that the battery/alternator sends power to the magnetos which then sends current to the spark plug. So if I have the battery and alternator switch off, where are my magnetos getting the power from ? since the aircraft keeps flying even with the master switches off.. Thanks for any info :)

@clayviation

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks Elvis! No apology needed for good questions. The magnetos are small electrical generators that are driven my the physical rotation of the engine. So if the battery and alternator are off, the engine effectively runs independent of them since the turning of the engine powers the magnetos and the magnetos supply the spark for ignition in the engine cylinders.

informative!

Very good. 🙏

Thanks, Hailstone!

My instructor actually turned off the ignition and put the key in his shirt pocket. The resulting "engine failure" was not just a "throttle to idle" simulation. He'd "hide" the auxiliary practice grass strip directly under the aircraft. And we'd dead stick spiral to landing. If we were setup well for landing, then he'd give me the key back and I'd restart the engine. Or it would be a soft field landing to a full stop.

Hi Clay thank you for the video. One question, if I had to turn off one or both Avionics switches mid flight, from reading your description it sounds like I would lose lights, pitot heat and flap control (along with other things). But during preflight we test those three things after turning off the avionics switch in a 172. I must be misunderstanding something and was hoping you could clarify? Thank you!

@clayviation

4 жыл бұрын

Great question, Dean, and I’m stoked that you are thinking about this so critically. Here’s what I can tell. I can’t speak for every airplane, but in this Airfoillabs Cessna 172, having the master switch on with the avionics master switch off will indeed allow flaps to operate, just like when you preflight and pop the master on to lower flaps. If the circuit breaker for the Avionics Bus 1 is pulled, the power supply is then broken to the items listed, including the flaps. So my takeaway from this learning is that by knowing the items that are on each of the avionics busses, it might provide insight into what would be lost if those circuit breakers were to pop.

Most POHs have a map of what equipment is tied to each bus, and it varies. I had to try each one and make a list of the items on the busses in this particular airplane.
