2 flights ago, at the end of the flight, I did the annual backup battery test as the reminder came up this month. One flight after that for about an hour, so it got all nice and charged up.
Today, during preflight, I flipped the Master on as usual, checked lights and pitot heat, looked at the SV after it booted to verify a few things like Hobbs time, etc. (for oil change intervals and so forth), then flipped the master off. But this time, instead of powering down as it has for 4 years, the SV stayed on with the little red bar that said "Ext Power Lost" or something like that...had to power it down using the button for PWR OFF.
Weird, says I. Let's try that again. Same thing. Hmmmm....
Go flying for about a half hour...on shutdown, it's back to acting normally after I shutdown and turn off the Master.
Any ideas?
