Students will learn ignition theory, magneto system components and operation, the three electrical circuits of a magneto system, and turbine engine ignition systems. They will identify and mitigate risks associated with advanced and retarded ignition timing, maintenance on engines with capacitor discharge ignition systems, and working around reciprocating engines with an ungrounded magneto. Students will set magneto internal timing, time a magneto to an engine, remove, clean, and install spark plugs, troubleshoot and repair an ignition system, inspect an electrical starting system, and troubleshoot turbine engine igniters.
