Electrical and others
-
Just wondering if others are seeing issues with some of the run-up checks. When checking the anti-icing and de-icing systems, particularly the pitot heat and stall heat, I get no noticeable change on the meter, and the same goes for the prop de-icer. The prop amperage meter continues to read zero. The circuit breakers are all in, the engine condition is at 100% and I have failures turned off (until I get better at handling the systems in this bird). I also get no change in the ITT with the Inertial Separator engaged, as per the checklist. I'm sure it's probably something I'm doing wrong, but I'm following the checklist step by step and would really like it if my gauges were giving me some indications.

Last time I ran through the checklists, everything you describe was working. Are you sure the multimeter is on the correct setting to observe the generator load, and the generator is online? The propeller heat may take a moment to activate, as it's on a timer circuit. If you continue having problems, feel free to share a video, which might help to see what's going on.

Yes, the multimeter is on the generator setting, and the generator is on line. As for the prop heat, I'll give it a little longer after switching it on to see if it changes. Thanks for your help.
