@nibelung34343 Starting the engine with avionics on will not hurt the battery. However, the power surge from the alternator could ruin some avionics. That is the reason for turning off AV before starting.

Nice video, I'm going to fly a 172N for the first time after getting my PPL in a 172SP with fuel injection. This video helps me know what to do so I don't look silly in front of my pax. Thanks.
P.S. Clean your windshield!

Excellent video, excellent narration. You have one sweet plane there!

Nice video. You should visit the Cessna 172 Club and Forum. It's free and I think you'd like it. cessna172forum dot you-know-what. :)

@zenbey101 It isnt scary flying solo. If something happens, take care of it. It doesnt change how everything works once the instructor is standing on the taxiway versus sitting in the airplane

you really shouldnt have your avionics on when you start as you could overload the battery

@nibelung34343 The avionics were not on if youll notice. After I started it, I flipped them on and talked about turning them on, then you could see them boot up. The avionics cooling fan is independent and always runs.
