At the flight school I fly from, the 172 that I fly keeps having problems with the voltage regulator, which causes a discharge, and an eventual loss of electrical. One of my friends took a flight and was actually getting excessive charge, and after reading a bit in the POH, he turned on more equipment to keep it down. They soon after encountered a discharge and had to keep the electrical at a minimum until reaching the airport. The airplane lost the voltage regulator again yesterday on the flight right after mine, and so it is down for mx. They are "trying to pinpoint the problem," but it concerns me that this keeps happening. It's as if it is almost on a timer to go out. Plese give me some feedback and tell me what you guys would feel in my shoes. Thanks a lot!
