Hi.
I'm in the process of writing the POH to my -7 and was wondering if it would be a good idea to wait until after engine start before turning on the alternator?
In other words: turn on only the battery switch before engine start.
Then the entire elec system would be protected for "spikes" during start up?
And vice verca on shutdown? (Turn off the alternator before mix is pulled to cutoff)
Or is it something I've missed or don't understand?
