Hi Fred
So you are flying along with 2 green lights and one goes out. How do
you know if it is an electrical problem or the door shoot bolt not
engaged without a test switch?
(OK you will get a great blast of air through all the holes in the top
of the tunnel which would give a clue.)
You can see and feel the passenger shoot bolt with your right hand, and
feel the left seat shoot bolt in place with your left hand.
Regards
Pete
