Anyone? These were listed in order of importance and most are controlled by breakers. Sometimes people ask "Why the Transponder?" It is easier for ATC to keep track of me, after I declare an emergency, while the transponder is on. If I am at a low altitude west of the Mississippi, I would probably turn it off. Why don't I need the wing to header fuel pumps? Because my automatic fuel system keeps the header tank above 8 gallons, more than enough for 45 minutes. Why the GPS? Because it is the single pilot's friend. If any of these systems becomes a problem, its' power can be shut off at the breaker. ------=_NextPart_000_005D_01C34F1D.6A171790 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
