Hi,
Today I experienced an alternator trouble. During flight GRT Efis sent an alert message , alternator overvoltage . On engine page I read 15 to 16V . 15 mn later total electric failure , all switches are off. 5 mn before landing I switch master switch on, radio on and Efis on to get IAS.
2 hours later I start the engine and get back to home base but without radio, transponder, And Efis.
My question is, can I decrease alternator voltage ? It's a plane power, 40 flight hours , internally regulated.
In the same time I noticed that master switch needs a few minutes before being operative , I am not sure there is a link between both issues.
Before buying a new alternator I would like to know If I am able to fix it by myself...
Thanks
