The overarching theme of my article on
ground power in contemporary light aircraft
was the dearth of PILOT CONTROL of the
energy supplied to the ship's systems.
Other risks were noteworthy but of minor
concern.
What you're suggesting was
standard operating procedure for most of
the Piper products that offered a ground
power option. It's a whole lot better than
digging around in the guts of an airplane
with jumper cables!

Un impeachable logic: George Carlin asked, "If black boxes
survive crashes, why don't they make the whole airplane
out of that stuff?"
