Is normal flap operation and position indication available when the battery bus has failed?

In the event of a battery bus failure, normal flap operation and position indication are not available. The battery bus powers various systems on the aircraft, including the flap controls and indicators. Without the battery bus functioning, these systems cannot receive the necessary power to operate as intended, which means that neither flap operation nor accurate position indication can be assured.

While some aircraft may have backup systems or alternative means of operation, a complete failure of the battery bus typically implies that the standard electronic systems are offline. This scenario emphasizes the importance of electrical system reliability and the potential consequences of power failures on flight operations. Understanding the functioning of the flap system within the context of an electrical failure helps highlight the significance of having operational backup systems and protocols in place.
