Standby Alternator
Virginia
Aviation is proud to announce the STC approval of our
installation of the B&C Specialty Products BC425 Standby
Alternator System in Cessna 182T/T182T/206H/T206H aircraft.
The B&C Specialty Standby Alternator system is comprised of
four major components. The BC425-1 alternator is mounted to
the accessory drive pad on the Cessna that was formerly
intended for a second vacuum pump. The alternator will
provide a continuous source of power up to 20 amps without
loading the engine anymore than a vacuum pump. The BC203-2D
Alternator controller performs the automatic functions of
the system and serves as the voltage regulator for the
system. The controller also is where the Standby Alternator
Master switch is connected to the
“STBY ALT ON”
annunciator. The STBY ALT master switch is added to the
pilot’s checklist and should be turned on when the aircraft
is started.
This
makes all standby alternator functions automatic. When the
Alternator controller senses the primary aircraft alternator
has failed it automatically assumes the load of the aircraft
electrical system. The STBY ALT ON light turning on
annuciates the activation of this system. Should the load
of the aircraft electrical system exceed the
capabilities of the standby alternator then the controller
will flash the
“STBY ALT ON”
light,
warning the pilot to shed electrical load.
This
system is available for purchase directly from Virginia
Aviation and should take about 10 hours to install. The STC
and FAA Approved Flight Manual Supplement make certification
of this system quick and easy. This system can also be used
as a second source of current generation to meet single
engine 135 requirements. (This must be approved by your
local FSDO).
