B206 Bus question
Hi,
As the 3rd step in the "pre-flight" check in the B206, the pilot ensures that the LDG LT is off. The bus is 28 volts (once the battery switch is on), and I'm wondering three things.
1) If the landing light was left in the on position inadvertantly, thus causing significant drain on the battery (assuming a battery and not a GPU start), when he/she later switches the battery on, and fires up the bus, what would the bus voltage be?
2) As there is no ammeter or volt-meter, how does a pilot catch this?
3) If it was not caught, and the pilot attepted to engage the starter (assuming fully charged battery in good condition) would the start function?
