OK.. 'fess up time. How many people can recall (paxing, of course,
never as operating crew
) the mysterious momentary AC power loss immediatelly after takeoff that the Deisel 9 was prone to suffering?
It wasn't until I got onto the aircraft myself that I learned what caused these mysterious momentary blackouts.
I'll leave it to someone with a better recall of the after start/pre takeoff switching (or the failure to make said switching!) that caused this problem.
