associated magneto is activated. The system operates on both magnetos when BOTH is selected. A malfunctioning ignition system can be identified during the pretakeoff check by observing the decrease in rpm that occurs when the ignition switch is first moved ... during this check. The permissible decrease is listed in the AFM or POH. If the engine stops running when switched to one magneto or if the rpm drop exceeds the allowable limit, do not fly the aircraft until the problem…

manually reset, rather than replaced, if an overload condition occurs in the electrical system. Placards at the fuse or circuit breaker panel identify the circuit by name and show the amperage limit. Figure 7-33. On this master switch ... right half is for the battery. An ammeter is used to monitor the performance of the aircraft electrical system. The ammeter shows if the alternator/ generator is producing an adequate supply of electrical power. It also indicates whether…
