Back in DXR

But via Avis, not 3038N.

 

We launched at 1130 IFR filed for DXR. The mechanics assured us they could not replicate the problem and likely it was a loose cable which they tightened.

 

We take off and are cleared to climb to 7000 and join Victor 12 to Harrisburg. The weather along our route varied from Clear and 10 in Latrobe and Danbury to 100 Over and 3/4 in Mist and light rain through the PA mountains. We were aprehensive about the plane due to our experiences a day earlier.

 

Roughtly in the same spot as the day prior the Altenator goes off line and we start resetting it via the Alt Master.

 

This time it does not stay on for the extended period it did the day before so we called Harrisburg approach and asked to deviate to Reading PA 40 minutes in front of us. The XM said RDG was clear below 12000 so we thought that it would be safer to let down there if we lost our electrical equipment (Radios, Xponder, HSI, Autopilot, Atitude Indicator)

 

Harrisvurg comes back on and says Cap City airport was clear and it's 30 miles closer so we decide to go there.

 

We landed, talked to the mechanics rented a car and drove home.

 

Yahoo. Great to be alive!
