Looking for some opinions and I know that there are no shortage of those
here.
I just returned from a little night ride to get my three landings and
noticed what appears to be an abnormal reading from the ammeter.
When on the ground, preparing for takeoff, I see a significant rise on the
ammeter when I switch the landing light and fuel pump on. I know that this
is normal, particularly with the landing light drawing a good bit of juice.
The question is...When applying full engine power for takeoff, the ammeter
rose off the scale. Not a sudden pop of the needle, but a pronounced rise
as the RPM went up. When throttling back to cruise power, the meter drops
to a more normal reading?
Opinions???
Thanks
Mike
Is this in a Piper? If so, could be a faulty regulator.
