ASA PG - Private Pilot Electrical Systems

A brief, general overview of GA electrical systems at a private pilot level. This is the level of understanding that I think is appropriate for someone seeking a Private Pilot certificate. For use in Aviation Science AVS-120 Private Ground and AVS-157 Aircraft Systems Airframe courses.
This video was made for classes in the Aviation Science program, a professional pilot program at Portland Community College that gets people ready to start their pilot careers. If you're interested in our program, feel free to visit our website: www.pcc.edu/fly

The best explanation.... I really wanted someone to guide without technical jargon.... And you did it... I truly appreciate this video. Thank u Captain...

Studying for CFI and this video helped me understand the electrical system better than any video or website.

[@pccaviationscience6769]

Glad it helped, Garrett. Good luck on your CFI; that's a big one!

[@yasiralthubaiti9796]

Same as you man ! Hope you got your certificate.

Great video, super clear explanation!

Finally a suggested video by YT was a good one. My checkride is in a week. my cfi said I need to know this well. I have been stressing over it because I was still not clear on it after watching several of these videos on YT. I am crystal clear on this stuff after watching this. Thank you.

question BD5 build now 12 volt system under design right no i just bought a 24 volt instrument help?

[@pccaviationscience6769]

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. That's a bummer, but depending on the instrument I don't think there's any choice but to exchange for a 12V version.

Cessna 172??

[@pccaviationscience6769]

The diagram, which is taken from the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, is for a C152, but it is VERY similar to the older model 172s ( and most GA airplanes).
