I recently purchased an RV-6 equipped with one Pmag and one Lightspeed Plasma III. This is my first aircraft with electronic ignition.
When I learned how to fly on a magneto equipped aircraft, I was taught to briefly turn off the ignition prior to shutdown to ensure the mags were grounded properly and I didn’t have a “hot” magneto when the switches were off.
Two questions: Is this grounding check useful with electronic ignition? Will performing this check harm the system in any way?
Thanks,
