Taxi to Parking
Hello,
Having an odd problem. I noticed today that the Cabin Lights breaker in the 182 (instrument and radio lights too) was popped when I went to leave. I reset it, flew all day, started flying a bit at night, but landed before the sky was completely dark. I was running the lights for a while, however.
Then, on my landing roll, the breaker popped again. As I pulled off the runway, I reset it. Then, I noticed that when I was all the way at idle, the lights got much dimmer, fairly suddenly. At 900-1000 RPM's they went back to normal brightness. Then right before I shut down I tried it again - 600 RPM idle, the lights got much dimmer, flickered a couple of times, and the breaker popped again.
Is this one of those "Doc it hurts when I do this/Well then don't do that" kind of things, or an indicator of a more serious problem?
