Alternator on The Seminole?

[gkrangers]

Haven't had to do it yet. By the third lesson my students know the systems and engine inside out. I get an A&P to give them a nice long lesson on what they are looking at in the cowling and how everything interacts.

I think this is a great idea. My most lacking area of knowledge is systems and how everything works. I would encourage all instructors to do something similar to siegel if it is an option.

dueguard1, here is a Seminole electrical schematic straight from the POH.

It should answer all your questions, without all the insults.

If you still have questions after looking it over, feel free to post them on here, and SOME of us will try to help you out.

For the busses, remember:
BATMAN - Battery, Avionics #1, Tie, Main, Avionics #2, Nonessential.

Its one of the few mnemomics that I really like and actually remember.

Hey! I found said girl in the field, while on a lesson with a student. Kind of creepy getting asked my radar to fly this heading and "look" for a downed aircraft.

I wonder what the FOI would have to say about that method of teaching.

I think that is the FOI of INTENSITY! THATS INTENSITY LEVEL TEN!

I like to think of it as recency as well. As in, "Remember when you did that the last lesson and I smacked you?"
