Main Altimeter stopped functioning mid-flight
-
If it makes any odds this is with the PMS50 and faults turned off .. ..
At some point during cruise the main altimeter turned itself off - (bar across the digits) - I couldn't find any way to get it back operating - FO side altimeter continued functioning normally. This was during my second flight (first was faultless)...
Not sure if there is anything I could have done to cause an issue or if it was a bug. Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,

all fuses pushed in ?

Would need to see if it happens again, failures were off so I didn't even consider the fuses, first assumptions were bug or I'd done something daft....

sometime when turning of copilot yoke or just watching by the right window, it happened to me to make unintentional click in the fuse area ;)

@Nicotine70
Could have happened like that, do fuses state save? If so I can check that later...G

Personally I would think they are not, since they may been considered as part of primary function.
I guess it s better for everyone's experience and avoid false bug report or degraded experience,
User just have to restart a flight to get everything fixed if he missed click make sense imo.Btw failures are saved so if someone really want a specific fuse to popped out, he can trigger that specific failure.

I just wanted to confirm that Nico is right on with this, since I've never seen it addressed specifically anywhere else. The circuit breaker state is not saved, but the failures connected to it are. In other words, a manually pulled circuit breaker will reset on your next flight, but if a failure would result in a popped circuit breaker on your next flight, then it will wait until there is current flowing on the circuit, and then pop.
