The way it was explained to me, once upon a time, was... Landing/Taxi
lights are considered "intermitant loads" and are not added in for the 80%
load calculation. Same goes for pitot heat. In fact, when you're adding
up your loads, you only add the receive power draw for your Com radios,
and not the transmit power draw.


Thanks. Intermttent not being counted makes sense to me.

Thanks for the info.
