REFLECTOR: Annunicators?

[Terrence Miles]

I installed a parking brake, and I have an annunciator for that.  I have an experimental pilot heat system that came w/ a three light monitor system that tells me if it is powered, if it is below operating temp, and when it’s heating circuits are powered.  Get one of those if you didn’t get there yet.  I also (before I realized the value of this) put an annunciator to the off side of the power switch thru a relay.  While a used auto fuses for a lot of stuff, I also have about a dozen aircraft CB’s that have helped particularly when I had starter problems or wanted to kill or be sure I had power to the transponder.  CB are an annunciation of sorts that auto fuses cannot be.     I HAVE to have my autopilot on before takeoff and best while stationary.  I have a annunciator for that.  All of these are top center on the LH side of the panel and I have memorized what I should see in light patterns before taxi and before takeoff, and say it to myself before I look.

 low oil press would be provided by their engine monitoring and would be unnecessary on an annunicator.

Two oil pressure warnings set at different points could be useful.  One near the max voltage value to give the earliest warning of a possible problem,  The second at a lower value because the voltage will be lower when the battery is charging, or max electrical power is being used.
