Master On

Pressing the top part of the red master rocker switch applies power to the aircraft except for the the ignition system. This allows me to lower the flaps for later inspection and to see the fuel level indications.

This dual switch combination (ignition/master) is a little bit of a problem as the pilot must remember to turn off the master switch after turning off the engine. Leaving it on will run down the battery.
