I have an O320 powered Piper Pacer that has a modern alternator
conversion, with solid-state regulator and overvoltage cutout. This is a certified aircraft, and the conversion was done years ago under the field approval process. There are some STCed conversions available, and it may much easier to get those approved in today's FDSO climate. The alternator is capable of 60A, charges at low rpm, has enough output to carry radios, transponder, engine instruments, strobe, nav lights, landing/taxi light, and pitot heat all at the same time.

Any advantages or disadvantages? TIA. Brendan
