Are magnetos on the same electrical system as the battery?
Asked by: Hiupdown 3397 views Aircraft Systems
Do mags ground to the same source as the battery and other electric consumers? If my battery explodes or I take a lightning strike that fries my electrical system, would my magnetos be affected? If the positive terminal on the battery somehow contacts the airframe (ground), could it fry my mags as well since everything is connected via ground?
