Shed Bus Switch Practice

Good point about the shed bus switch and it being second nature......


It's activated on first flight of the day along with an autopilot test, but subsequently, it does not have to be tested for Police quick starts to urgent tasking iaw Operating Manual.


May be a good thing to practice more often though, I agree, and certainly for non urgent tasks. Its still in a pretty poor position really though. I also do have to say double engine failure, very unlikely, but double generator failure, more likely but not quite so urgent to get to it. So yes, the aircraft was not designed so well for the less likely scenario, but we weren't supposed to have a twin engine fuel starvation within 32 secs either.


That is a good point anyway and one which can easily be taken further.
