msalama Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 No mention in the manual of a preflight magneto check that I can find. Did I miss something, or is it really not needed?

IvanK Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Mag check (3%) is required each sortie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thought so. The manual, however, makes no mention of this. 3 percent of what though, if you don't mind my asking? EDIT: ach, means a 3% RPM drop on a single magneto is acceptable, right? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

lobo Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 You want to see a drop in RPM, but not an excessive drop. RPM drop when running on one magneto must not exceed 3%.

EDIT: ach, means a 3% RPM drop on a single magneto is acceptable, right? Set 70% RPM with Throttle and prop pitch full fine. Then Turn of a Mag check the RPM drop is no more than 3%. Put the Mag switch back to both. Repeat process for remaining Mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
