Hi All,
I was doing some soaring last week under dark bottomed cumulus clouds in southeastern PA under moderate/ weak lift conditions. Upon engine re-start I found that the transponder took several minutes to become active. This happened 4 times. I am wondering if the Skyview shouldn't be shut down and restarted each time the engine is shut down. My checklist for on ground engine starts calls for the Skyview EFIS to remain on during engine starts- this makes sense because there is no other way to check oil pressure after engine starting.
So I assume that the Skyview can handle the power surge that accompanies engine starts.
Any thoughts?
