Thanks for the great video Mike, I’m going through a lot of your stuff online and books now as partial 182 owner. You mention the alternator failure in Cirrus aircraft: not sure if you’ve heard about N467BD crashing in IMC. A bit too much confidence in the redundancy was a causal factor: www.sust.admin.ch/inhalte/AV-berichte/2146_e.pdf
