Beechcraft Flap Position Indicator

While sometimes misidentified in field teardown inventories, this specific part number designates a compact, panel-mounted horizontal alternator load indicator manufactured by Triplett for Textron Beechcraft. It is a primary electrical system monitoring instrument factory-installed on high-performance general aviation aircraft.

Description

This unit has been bench tested by an FAA certified repair station and it comes with an 8130 single release dated 06/03/2026.

Key Technical Capabilities
  • Real-Time Amperage Tracking: Continuously monitors the electrical current load (up to 100 Amps) being supplied by the alternator, allowing the pilot to immediately verify that the charging system is meeting the airframe’s power demands. 
  • Space-Saving Edgewise Profile: Utilizes a thin, horizontal rectangular design rather than a traditional circular gauge. This edgewise configuration allows the indicator to be seamlessly stacked into compact sub-panel clusters, preserving limited cockpit real estate. 
  • System Overload Protection Awareness: Provides a dedicated, clear visual scale that lets the flight crew cross-check current draw against alternator limits, helping prevent battery depletion or system overload during high-demand IFR flight operations.
  • Highly Responsive Meter Movement: Employs a finely balanced internal needle mechanism designed to provide steady, vibration-damped readouts despite standard piston engine harmonics.
