Yesterday I tested the Standby Alternator in my Ovation 2 29-0363 (905 hours TTIS) all according to the published procedure, and it failed. To track down the fault the top cowl was removed, the prop rotated by hand, and we found the alternator was not rotating, so the problem seems to be the shear coupling. Have any other readers experienced the shear coupling failure, and at what TTIS? Was the alternator replaced or overhauled with the shear key replacement? It seems that the alternator is essential for TKS equipped Ovations, but not essential for non TKS. I'm not overly confident flying with the standby U/S because the G1000 equipped Ovation 2 needs plently of power, but then I accumulate some 1000 hrs on my first Ovation 1 (29-0156) in some of the most remote areas of Australia without the luxury of a standby. -
I removed my aero safe guardian I standby vacuum pump. 24 volt unit. It was mounted in the rear avionics bay of my my 1995 mooney ovation. looking at the log books, this unit has been installed for many years so the unit is not new. The unit works great as I had to use it twice due to engine mounted vacuum pump failure. The unit was run as a test every couple of months so it is has been maintained in good working condition. the unit weighs 7lb and six ounces. This unit lists for $2,000 at Chief aircraft. I'd like to get $700 and I'll pay shipping in the US.
