Noticed something odd this week. Normally the voltage output is 14.4, but did a several hr. cross country flight this week and started noticing voltage drops on the Skyview display. Did some inflight testing and voltage output would go down to as low as 13.9 volts at times as additional items where turned on (nav, strobe, wig wag landing lights etc), voltage output would go back up to the 14.4 as I reduced the electrical load. So needless to say I did the remaining trip with min. electrical loads.
I am thinking that the Plane Power voltage regulator may need to be replaced, it has 400 Hobbs, or 305 tach time.... Any other potential items that I should look at?
I have the blast tube going to the internal regulator..... Any additional ideas on how to get more life out of these alternators?
Thanks,
