  • All 13 tested combinations applied and recovered on one PC in parked live MSFS flights.
  • C172SP G1000 Passengers: generator 1 offline, radio 1 power interruption, primary altimeter freeze, elevator trim jam, fuel feed 1 interruption.
  • DA62 Passengers and 747-8i passenger: the same except fuel feed. NAV1 can lose power during the radio 1 exercise.
  • Group and individual hidden zones, recovery and eligible engine actions. Actual aircraft effects are monitored; fuel feed recovery does not start a stopped engine.
