How to toggle ground clearance mode
-
As I understand, ground clearance mode in the TBM 850 is a low power mode that activates the radio so that you may pick up IFR clearance without needing to boot all of the avionics up and drain the battery.
I cannot find an explanation of how to toggle this mode in the manual nor online. Any tips?

Surprisingly, I neglected to mention ground clearance mode anywhere in the manual, other than in a changelog. You can find a full explanation in any TBM 850 pilot's operating handbook, but I also demonstrate it in my electrical systems overview video. Let me know if you have any questions!
