Unless you’re just crossing the North Atlantic, for example.

I don’t know what systems you have to switch off with the newer electric systems.
Well, I wrote it here twice, didn’t I? Or is there some kind of misunderstanding?

In a simulator anything is a non event :-)
Makes me wonder if you ever flew them for real and not just as fun.
I’ve done both and I do know the difference. And while journalist rides or test rides on sims can be great challenge and fun, training sessions and exam sessions are usually the opposite.
I think that it was quite easy to understand what i meant: An emergency in a simulator is not the same (psychologically) as a real one in IMC.
Repaired the failure today. Alternator 1 checked out ok, all the wires too.
Opened the MCU (Master Control Unit) that was designed by somebody who does not have to repair it (…) and after de-installation of a circuit board and some other stuff we managed to get out the Alt 1 Field Control Module. Changed it, put everything back togther, sealed the cover of the box again …
Everything back to normal, works perfectly. Work was done by my A/P with my help. New Voltage regulator seems to be an improved version with a new part number, so I hope it’s better quality.
