Anyone done/have a load analysis for their plane? My analysis looks ok for a 60A alternator for continuous flight.
60A x80% = 48A continuous load target. Stay less that this all good.
Kicker is Night flight landing with Pitot heat on puts me at or above 60A with what I am calculating for continuous load. I am looking at using FlyLED Seven Stars for lights @ 7.5A ea, 15A Total. Garmin GAP 26 Pitot heat is 12A Max (varies with temp). So up to a 27A night landing adder. Lights don't fall under my continuous load but exceeding max current draw for alternator would be an issue.
General System Spec
Dual G3X
650xi or 750xi
GMC 507 Auto Pilot dual axis
GMA 245 Audio Panel
GTR 20 Comm
+Supporting bits.
Just trying to figure out what people are seeing for loads on similar setups and what calculations where done beforehand.
