Too much info!
 
Maybe the more important thing to know is what to do if you have a problem in flight.
I am stuck the wrong side of the pond with a brand new 161 cos alternator kept dropping out. Alt failure light first, 0 reading on amp metre then low voltage light. recycling CB brough it back for a bit then off again. Divert cos I'm not going oceanic with that! Main consideration is landing somewhere where I can get it fixed and idealy VFR. That worked as wasn't going to drop out of sky. Lots of help from ATC.
Detail facinating, but it's the practical side that maybe is more important.

wrong side of the pond
There's a wrong side?

It's just as with driving on British roads. There's a right side and a wrong side, also known as the left side.:}

Apologies, nothing wrong with the hospitality!
