In normal operation, for how many minutes can the batteries provide power?

• A. 10 min
• B. 20 min
• C. 30 min
• D. 60 min

Answer: (B)

In normal operation, the duration the batteries can power essential systems is measured to give you enough time to manage a power transition. The Longitud e 700 is designed so the battery can sustain critical avionics, flight instruments, and communications for about twenty minutes when the primary power source isn’t supplying power. This window gives you a practical interval to identify the power loss, conserve or reconfigure loads, and switch to an alternate source or complete a safe approach and landing. A shorter period wouldn’t give enough time to manage the transition, while longer durations would imply more battery capacity than what the system is designed to provide.
