I have an RV-8 with an AFS-4500, Garmin 430 w, Garmin 327 and some steam gauges.
Today I flew from Cameron Park (O61) to Salinas. I stopped to checkout the facilities then proceeded towards home.
After run up and just before take off, the AFS-4500 went black then rebooted by itself. I need that engine monitor so I decided to taxi back and watch the bahavior of the AFS to see what it was doing. While taxing back it rebooted a send time without me switch off the master.
On shutdown the EFIS stayed on using its own battery power beyond the norm 45 seconds. I did t not push any buttons to force it to stay operational.
It shut off normally after I switched on then off the master (again).
Any ideas what may have caused this?
Thanks,
Charlie
