What happens to the AVIONICS during a Dual GEN failure?

During a Dual Generator (GEN) failure in the Pilatus PC-12 NG, all avionics lose power. The primary power source for the avionics system is the aircraft's generators. When both generators fail, there is no source of electrical power to support the avionics systems, which can lead to a loss of critical flight instruments and communications equipment.

In such situations, essential systems reliant on generator power cease to function, significantly impacting the pilot's ability to fly the aircraft safely. It is crucial for pilots to understand the implications of a dual generator failure and the importance of contingency planning when it comes to power management and emergency protocols. Backup systems may provide some level of redundancy, but in the event of a dual failure, the assumption is that the avionics will be completely powered down unless there are alternative power sources or emergency measures in place.

Overall, knowing what occurs during a Dual GEN failure is vital for effective decision-making and maintaining flight safety in the Pilatus PC-12 NG.
