will1874 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Posted June 18, 2022 Descending into Tipton (KFME, Fort Meade, MD) Wednesday and the HI LOW VOLTAGE warning light started flashing. I was close enough that I just continued to Tipton. It was only another 12 minutes-ish. Clearly an alternator issue. Hopefully it's something simple. The alternator only has a little more than 300 hours on it. Hoping it's just a broken wire. But now the airplane is AOG there. I had to go fly the big airplane that pays for the little airplane so I haven't done anything as far as troubleshooting so far. It's only been three days, but no luck getting the shop on the field to respond to requests for assistance. I got a pretty good briefing on what to look for initially from the folks at Weber Aircraft at KLNS. But the airplane is fairly new to me. I've never removed the cowling. Taking each half off seems simple enough, but I'm not so sure about getting it back on by myself. Do any of you who live in the Baltimore / DC area have any recommendations on an A&P that will travel? I'm more than happy to compensate anyone who is willing to help. Feel free to text me at eight six oh, 6 one four, sixty-nine 80. TIA -Will Quote
