Vision Microsystem. Low volt warning for 2 to 3 seconds on most flights
only once each flight usually about 30 to 60 minutes into the flight.
Always recovers and never has occurred twice even in three hour flights.
Alternator belt snug and wires all tight.
Low fuel pressure also does it occasionally but Lycoming and Visio say
that is the flucuations in the mechanical fuel pump picked up by the
vision system and is of no concern except when it warns one while flying
a passenger such as a wife. Between the rare low fuel light flickering,
the low fuel warning for never more that 2 seconds and now the low volt
warning once per flight( last one at night) I have decided to ask if
others have experienced similar fleeting challenges. By the way my
headphones work fine.
You can see my plane in Sport Aviation this month. Thanks for all the
help recommendations and laughs.
