How do pilots typically regain generator power after an ADG deployment?

1. By using the manual reset button

2. By reactivating the main battery

3. By stowing the ADG Manual Deploy Handle and pressing the PWR TXFER OVERRIDE button

4. By switching to an alternative power source

The correct answer is: By stowing the ADG Manual Deploy Handle and pressing the PWR TXFER OVERRIDE button

The correct answer is based on the standard procedures for pilots to restore generator power after the deployment of the Alternate Dependent Generator (ADG). When the ADG is deployed, it provides emergency electrical power, but once it's no longer needed, the process to regain generator power involves the critical steps of stowing the ADG Manual Deploy Handle and pressing the PWR TXFER OVERRIDE button. Stowing the manual deploy handle signifies that the ADG is no longer in use and allows the system to reset itself for normal operations. By pressing the PWR TXFER OVERRIDE button, pilots facilitate the transfer of the electrical load back to the main generators, which reestablishes normal power operations. This systematic approach ensures that electrical systems are properly configured and functional. Other options may seem plausible but do not accurately reflect the specific procedural steps involved in regaining generator power. Options that suggest simply using a manual reset button or reactivating the battery incorrectly imply simpler solutions that do not align with the necessary procedure involving the ADG. Switching to an alternative power source may be relevant in other contexts but does not specifically pertain to the proper restoration of power after an ADG deployment. Thus, the choice that encompasses the correct sequence of actions for pilots is
