2.7 Electrical system
The C42 is supplied with electricity via a generator attached to the engine (cf. Rotax
documentation). Together with a regulator-rectifier, it provides 12.5 - 14.2 V DC
voltage to the aircraft electrical system and simultaneously charges the battery. In
aircraft with a ballistic recovery system, the battery is located on the underside of the
fuselage tube near the seats.
For balance reasons, the battery is placed further back in aircraft without a ballistic
recovery system.
Circuit diagrams are to be found in the appendix of this manual.
