Most of the time having the avionics on won't be a problem. However if
you have a difficult start due to cold weather or a low battery, the low
voltage could cause you to lose stored data. After this happened to me,
I've always turned my engine monitor on after engine start. I don't
feel a need to have engine data for the 1st few seconds.
