Record 2 2014-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Electrical Measuring Equipment
CONT

An ammeter is used to monitor the performance of the airplane electrical system. The ammeter shows if the alternator/generator is producing an adequate supply of electrical power. It also indicates whether or not the battery is receiving an electrical charge.

CONT

Full-scale ammeter discharge or rapid fluctuation of the needle usually means alternator malfunction. If this occurs, you should cut the alternator out of the system and conserve battery power by reducing the load on the electrical system. If in flight you should consider landing as soon as possible.

  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Appareils de mesures (Électricité)
CONT

Le taux de décharge continuel indiqué sur l'ampèremètre avertissait le pilote que l'alternateur ne fournissait plus d'énergie et que seule la batterie alimentait les circuits électriques de l'avion.
