What was that beep at 0:13? just out of curiosity...

[Natureboyta]

@goingtobeapilot Great question, I don't know.

@goingtobeapilot sounds to me like a G1000 alert. probably turned off the Pilot heat after switching it on to check for a jump in amps

[Yeason2011]

@goingtobeapilot After switching on the Aviionics Master switch, the autopilot takes a minute or so to "boot up." Within a minute or so, the autopilot makes that beep in the cockpit when it's ready for operational use. That is the sound you heard at 0:13.

@Dominoes282 I am going to have to disagree with you on that, your close but the way it works during the after start check list you turn on the pitot heat which also turns on the stall warning tab heat.(It has heat for that also since its approved for known icing conditions). If the FADEC determines that its warm enough that it doesn't need the stall warning heater it shuts it off on its own. That's the tone you year. Then if you don't need pitot heat you just turn it back off.

@Marcoli5 Ahh sorry I didn't realize you were joking lol

[Marcoli5]

@Dominoes282 Oh yea, I forgot, that's the same one I fly, check out my vid I made...........btw that was my friend filming that.

[goingtobeapilot]

@Dominoes282 Haha yea I agree. As soon as you said it I was like ahhhh thats right lol Thats the problem with youtube though is that if you ask a question, you have to anticipate some wrong answers before you get the right one

[Dominoes282]

@parksbrew Wow those aren't TV's those are the Garmin G1000's. They are important for IFR landings, navigation, pitot instruments, horizon, VOR, plates, frequency grabbing, and replacing the steam gauge six pack. You can do anything but watch TV on them. Check your facts.

that outta learn ya!

@goingtobeapilot No problem man. Its funny to see everyone else give the wrong answers lol.
