Question About External Power Behavior After First Flight
-
I’d like to report and clarify something I’ve noticed regarding the external power behavior in the Bonanza Professional.
After completing a flight and shutting the aircraft down at the parking stand, the external power appears to work normally at first. However, if I wait a few minutes and then attempt to start a new flight without reloading the aircraft, selecting the external power option on the tablet results in it being immediately deselected. In other words, external power will not stay active.
I’m not sure whether this is intended behavior (for example, related to electrical logic, battery state, or GPU availability), or if it might be an unintended issue.
Could you please clarify whether this is normal system behavior or something that might need further investigation?
Thank you in advance.

Could you please provide some clarification between the lines of "However, if I wait a few minutes and then attempt to start a new flight without reloading the aircraft..."?
If I read this literally, then you do nothing but sit on the ramp, and after a given amount of time, the external power stops working, but I find that hard to believe. Is there something in between? Moving the aircraft? Opening the pause menu? Any details would be helpful. Thank you.

I noticed this myself too, and was wondering why, after 3-4 seconds the external power gets disabled "automatically". But I never really thought deeper about it and closed the case "internally" concluding I will need to read the manual. When I notice this the next time, I will take notes and report back.
