Electrical Load Analysis
The local feds are giving us a fit on what the term “in probable combinations and for probable durations” means. Let us face it; older designed aircraft with all the new bells and whistles installed could get close to the allowable limits. And the OEM data does not always explain what the “Take-off” “Cruise” “Landing” conditions really are. Has anyone else come up against this? The current thought is that if there is a system installed, it must be on for the ELA. Having Anti Ice and Air conditioning on at the same time in an aircraft that tends to stay around a 1000 AGL? That does not seem “probable” to me.
And on the same topic, hands of those of you who have seen or updated an ELA when installing something new?
