weak 20 1. Assume an initial condition at a high cruise altitude with a constant speed propeller what will happen if altitude decreased while throttle remains fully open and waste gate seized in cruise position The manifold absolute pressure (map) value may exceed maximum allowed value.
with engine producing power at low altitudes turbocharger will be potentially over productive to prevent over boosting wastegate will allow surplus exhaust energy to bypass turbocharger at higher altitudes where air considerably less dense wastegate will close off allowing turbocharger to deliver selected boost
during a descent from a high cruising altitude with throttle fully open turbocharger will be over productive the manifold absolute pressure (map) value may exceed maximum allowed value. If engine with a fixed pitch propeller detonating during climb out after takeoff normal corrective action would be to The manifold absolute pressure (map) value may exceed maximum allowed value.

If when magneto selector switch set to off position a piston engine continues to r normally most probable cause that On a magneto grounding wire broken. The ignition system provides spark that ignites fuel/air mixture in cylinders is made up of magnetos spark plugs high tension leads the ignition switch
a magneto uses a permanent magnet to generate an electrical current completely independent of aircraft's electrical system the magneto generates sufficiently high voltage to jump a spark across spark plug gap in each cylinder the system begins to fire when you engage starter the crankshaft begins to turn it continues to operate whenever crankshaft rotating
most standard certificated airplanes incorporate a dual ignition system with two individual magnetos separate sets of wires spark plugs to increase reliability of ignition system each magneto operates independently to fire one of two spark plugs in each cylinder the firing of two spark plugs improves combustion of fuel/air mixture results in a slightly higher power output if one of magnetos fails other unaffected the engine will continue to operate normally although you can expect a slight decrease in engine power the same true if one of two spark plugs in a cylinder fails

with right or left selected only associated magneto activated the system operates on both magnetos with both selected
you can identify a malfunctioning ignition system during pretakeoff check observing decrease in rpm that occurs when you first move ignition switch from both to right then from both to left a small decrease in engine rpm normal during this check (around 100 to 150 rpm)
if engine stops running when you switch to one magneto or if rpm drop exceeds allowable limit do not fly airplane until problem corrected the cause could be fouled plugs broken or shorted wires between magneto the plugs or improperly timed firing of plugs it should be noted that 'no drop' in rpm not normal in that instance airplane should not be flown
following engine shutdown turn ignition switch to off position even with battery master switches off engine can fire turn over if you leave ignition switch on the propeller moved because magneto requires no outside source of electrical power the potential serious injury in this situation obvious
loose or broken wires in ignition system also can cause problems for example if ignition switch off magneto may continue to fire if ignition switch ground wire disconnected if this occurs only way to stop engine to move mixture lever to idle cutoff position then have system checked a qualified aviation maintenance technician.

The most basic type of magnetic filter a drain plug where a magnet in shape of a disc or cylinder attached to its inside surface (typically adhesion) periodically magnetic plug removed inspected ferromagnetic particles which are then wiped from plug
such plugs are commonly used in engine sumps gearboxes occasionally in hydraulic reservoirs one useful advantage of mag plugs relates to examining density of wear particles observed as a visual indication of wear rate occurring within machine over a fixed period of running time the appearance of these iron filings on magnets are often described in inspection reports using terms such as peach fuzz whiskers or christmas trees if one normally sees peach fuzz but on one occasion sees a christmas tree instead this would be a reportable condition requiring further inspection remediation.
