I've never flown with an electronic ignition, so everything I know about it right now is from reading.
My question is if I have 1 mag and 1 EI, from what I've read the EI compensates so well if the mag dies, that most pilots won't even notice that they're down to 1 ignition system.
How have others gone about a warning system for this situation? I'm assuming if the EI dies, you'll know by the engine roughness, so I'm not worried about that. But if the EI compensates as well as I've read, how will I know if the mag dies?
Thanks,
