That does make the PAW installation a bit more critical than I had anticipated (I have limited power capabilities in my vintage aircraft). Tony

I'll investigate the voltage drop at PAW on cranking in my machine and take it from there. I can of course continue with manual recording using the hobbs. For those who may have a concern with respect to PAW dropping during navigation, I think you could just press "Go Flying" again and select the internal GPS and your back running. Skydemon and PAW are both brilliant products for the leisure pilot, small hiccups like engine logging are insignificant compared to the benefits these products bring us!
