- Dmay be replaced in the air once, with a fuse of a lower value
9In the event of an alternator failure in flight the
- AElectrical load should be reduced and the flight continued
- BElectrical load should be reduced and a landing made at the nearest suitable airfield
- CMaster switch should be turned off and the flight continued without electrics
- DFlight may be continued because the battery will supply the electricity
