Great and simple.  This is what I will do.  Thanks.  How-come I did  

not think of this after 25 years of flying?

 What makes you think if you didn't see the master switch on you  

 would see the little LED? He's a suggestion form a lurker. Turn  

 your strobe light on and leave it on. when you turn the master  

 switch on for starting the light signal to everyone to "clear  

 prop". When you leave the airplane if you are blinded by the  

 strobes, you left the master on.....

 I am wanting to put an LED on the panel that Hill inform us when  

 the Master

 switch is on and the plane is off.  We have left the Master switch on

 several times to the tune of a dead battery when we get back to the  

 plane.

 Is there a way to wire the ground of the LED through the start  

 switch so

 that it will get power when the Master is on, but won't ground  

 until the

 ignition switch is in the off position?

I have an avionics fan that I decided to leave on whenever the master

is on....so it's audible.  It's saved me already.  I also used

to use the rotating beacon being left on in my old plane too,

so that's a great idea.

You can use your alternator idiot light for the same purpose.

When the engine is stopped and the master is on, the alt light will tell

you the master is on. Has saved me more than once. 

Works for me.

You can see the result here:

Hi Michael:

 Just wondered, can you display an ILS on the Grand Rapids system. I don't see a separate ILS nav head? Or are you strictly VFR?

Yep.  

Both the GRT and BMA do.  

Even better, can display ILS needles and synthetic HITS at the same time(overlayed) on the GRT, while the BMA is displaying HITS against ILS.  

Its very valuable to see it all.  

You can shake and bake it however you like and it works.

 This sounds like the easiest solution.  Of course using a shutdown checklist is the best way to avoid it.
