The aircraft magneto is the heart of the ignition system. It’s function is to generate electric current, raise the voltage to a high enough level to fire the spark plugs, and send that high energy pulse to the correct plug at the correct time. Aircraft magnetos are lightweight, rugged and completely self contained. They do not require any external electrical source to operate. The majority of modern reciprocating aircraft engines use a magneto-type ignition system. Airplane magnetos work by using an alternating magnetic field which in conjunction with a set of contact points, capacitor, ignition coil, and gear train, provide a properly timed high voltage pulse for the spark plugs. Aircraft piston engines utilize a dual ignition system. Two separate and independent magnetos each fire one of two spark plugs per cylinder. The advantage of this system is twofold: Firing two plugs provides a smoother, more complete burn of the fuel mixture. This means maximum engine performance and fewer combustion deposits on the spark plugs. The redundancy of two independent ignition systems provides a margin of safety. The engine will operate on one magneto although at a decreased efficiency. The overall reliability of magnetos and having two independent ignition systems can sometimes lead an owner into complacency regarding the maintenance. It is critical to inspect and service your magnetos at regular intervals. A 500 Hour Inspection on Aircraft Magnetos is recommended. Even the best engineered and manufactured components require a periodic inspection and service to achieve their designed lifespan. Many problems when detected early can prevent a costly repair or failure later on. Our magneto department is comprised of 3 technicians with one being a pilot and A&P Mechanic. We overhaul, exchange, repair, and bench check aircraft magnetos. We also carry Factory Reman (including blue label) and New units. An FAA 8130-3 airworthiness certificate is available upon request.
