back in 94 a private pilot taking his first ever passengers of his flying career got in a H300 ( all his training was in a 22) and took off for a flight down sydney harbour all went well for 30 mins, then all the gauges went dead bar the tacs . stressing out a bit , he turned around and headed back to the airport , all the correct radio failure procedures and landing procedures were done and he landed safely back at the GAAP. just as he touched down the CFI opened the door and reached to the bottom of the panel and turned the ALT to ON !. then went back inside the hangar with out saying a word.
amazing! all the gauges were back on!
i was so worried about giving my pax a good ride i forgot to turn the F*&%ing alternator switch on.
