What an adventure!

The plan was to fly to a little country airport in New York for a day of specialized Cirrus training with a CSIP instructor named Jim.

The flight there was beautiful and uneventful.

But after landing and refueling, the engine would not start… all we got was a click-click-click when turning the key for starting.

After some troubleshooting, we decided it was likely the #1 aircraft battery had failed for some reason, and we needed to find a new one.

Listen to the audio to see how the situation was resolved.

(Amazingly, we were able to carry on with the day of training and it was a great day of aviation!)

Here are a few additional photos of the amazing day:
