I suspect my battery is needing replacing. It seems to lose its charge faster
than it should. I was still pumping away at the 1 hour point though, and got
tired of watching it. I think a good condition battery will make the 2 hours.
I don't want to over kill this situation -- just keep the airplane running
and get it on the ground.
The 727 when down to standby power -- battery back up for the electrical
system -- minimum essential equipment -- lasts for 30 minutes. Get it on the
ground!
