N724TM engine magneto system was modified with the specification approved in this Supplemental Type Certificate (STC).

United States of America Department of transportation -- Federal Aviation Administration

Supplemental Type Certificate

Number SA02987CH

This certificate issued to Electroair Acquisition Corporation

Left Magneto - Remains a standard mechanical magneto.

Right Magneto - is modified to an Electronic Ignition System.

This Electronic Ignition System STC Modification Provides

Increased Engine Performance

Stronger Spark

Variable Timing

– Delivers greater energy.

– Variable spark timing improves efficiency over a wider range of operating speeds and conditions.

– High-energy multi-strike start mode helps overcome a variety of start-up challenges.

– Reduces moving parts – Reduces maintenance.

– Longer spark and variable timing will reduce fuel consumption (10% to 15%).

Multi-Strike Start

Fewer Moving Parts

Better Economy/Safety

The EIS STC removed and installed the following engine components.

Installed the Trigger Mechanism (MTH) which directly replaces the right magneto, feeds engine position & RPM information to the Controller.

Installed a MAP Sensor that reads manifold pressure (altitude) and supplies a signal to the controller to advance timing; spark timing will not be advanced above 24” of MAP.

Installed The coils that fire directly into the spark plugs; no distributor involved. The coils fire the plugs on the compression stroke and on the exhaust stroke.

Right Mechanical Magneto

is removed

In the invent of an alternator failure

the EIS will drawing approximately

Essential Electronic Ignition System Abnormal Operating Procedures

“Dead/Bad Battery”

If the battery voltage is not sufficient to start

the engine, the battery is deemed “Dead” and

the start procedure must be aborted.

The battery must be charged or replaced

before attempting to restart the engine.

Inadequate charge on the battery

can cause the EIS to not operate.

In the case of a bad battery,

the battery must be replaced.

Essential Electronic Ignition System Emergency Procedures

“Extremely rough running engine”

Step 1: Turn OFF the EIS.

Step 2: Wait for roughness to reduce.

Step 3: Keep EIS OFF and make a precautionary landing.

A. If the engine continues to run extremely rough, turn power

back on to the EIS and start standard in-flight engine

troubleshooting.

B. If the engine roughness does reduce, proceed to step 3.

Note:

Treat the EIS as the magneto it replaced for all other in-flight troubleshooting.

After any precautionary landing, have aircraft inspected by appropriately rated

aircraft mechanic.

Essential Electronic Ignition System Emergency Procedures

“Severe loose in engine power ”

Step 1: Turn OFF the EIS.

Step 2: Determine if the engine looses significantly more power (RPM).

Step 3: Keep EIS OFF and make a precautionary landing.

A. If the engine looses approximately the same amount of RPMs that

are lost during the MAG check turn power back on to the EIS and

start standard in-flight engine troubleshooting.

B. If the engine does not loose significant RPMs, proceed to Step 3.

Note:

Treat the EIS as the magneto it replaced for all other in-flight troubleshooting.

After any precautionary landing, have aircraft inspected by appropriately rated

aircraft mechanic.
