@MiRexer said in Question about avionics state during cold and dark start...:
Some of your input on this may be a generational thing. I was last actively flying around 2002 and we had mostly analog transponders then and they didn't want you to turn it to alt until right before take off. That is unless I was doing it wrong then
You're absolutely right about that, because the FAA made its recommendation shortly after I got my license in maybe 2015, at which time I was also still flying with a Bendix/King transponder.
I'm glad you figured out a working solution. I knew that other people have done exactly this in SPAD or MobiFlight.
Your suggestion about saving configurations is a very interesting one. As usual, these things are a lot easier said than done, but I will be thinking about the best way to do this while I'm away from my desk. Thanks for the idea!
