New Plane - Surprise Problem Forces Abort Back To Base - Check Yo Checklists
On one hand, I had a minor emergency with my new plane, and I’m pretty happy with the way I handled it and did the whole flying safe thing for real.
On the other hand, it wasn’t a hardware failure with the plane and was entirely down to an undocumented control configuration, with an unlabeled key switch. I should have caught this earlier if I was paying attention, on the Cirrus there’s a requirement to check the electrical power during the run up, but not on this plane, I think I’m adding it to my checklists.
Beyond this, the plane has been great to fly, we’ve managed to fix the right screen, which had been written off by the avionics people we approached. The biggest remaining problem is the right wingtip nav light isn’t working, and as far as we can tell there’s a broken or disconnected wire from the time the wing was removed for transport. The final flight by the previous owner ended with the plane running out of fuel and landing in a field, and it’s likely that something wasn’t properly connected.
