Could anybody bring me some more light as to how the instruments and systems relate to the Master Switches? So far I know of the following master switches (FSUIPC):
- Alternator
- Master Battery switch
- Master Avionics switch
- Fuel Valves
As I understand if the Master Avionics switch is on then all of the avionic (electronic) instruments work.
Is the Master Battery only used for starting engines? or is it also needed to have the avionics working? i.e. if Master Battery is off, then Master Avionics does not work, i.e. both switches are electrically in series.
What about the Master Alternator switch, based on my very poor knowledge of mechanics I would assume that if the Alternators are off then the Battery does not get charged but that other than this, it is not required for operation of instruments.
