Don! Thank you!

Thanks for watching! It’s not quite as fun as flying but hopefully it helps someone.

Great video Don. A humble FYI is that there is no need to turn on Bat2. Also, 2 starts the Hobbs meter so might as well not add to the time on your plane while updating. Looking forward to more helpful and cool videos! They really are good and thanks for posting them.

Thanks for watching. Actually my Garmin guru says to use both bats. So I do. Also, refer to the AFM. Hobbs Meter “It starts the meter and begins recording when the pilot turns the Engine knob to RUN and momentarily presses the Engine button. BAT 1 and either GEN 1 or GEN 2 need to be ON. It stops tracking time when the pilot turns the Engine knob to OFF and momentarily presses the Engine button (which stops the engine). In case you’re curious, The #2 hour meter, labeled FLIGHT, is located forward of the HOBBS Hour Meter. It begins recording when the wheels are off the ground (Weight-On-Wheels is False) and the ground fan is OFF.”

You also need to power off the aircraft? I think you skipped that step.

Yes, you naturally turn off the battery switches when you are done.
