Is it usefull to have a tainted top side of the windshield? Because mine is clean.

I don’t think so. It seems to interfere with searching for traffic and clean hand signals to the ramp marshals.. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR

During the start sequence I turn on the Alternator first to see that it in fact works by watching the current display. Then I turn on the Generator to see that it picks up the load and that the Alt drops off. Am I doing this incorrectly? Your Thoughts.

Hi Marnie, I like to bring the generator on line first because it has a greater capacity and therefore ability to deal with a hungry older battery. If the alternator is not snapping offline due to overload due to an older battery it is no problem to bring on the alternator first. Fly Safely - Train Often.. DR
