Will call EMAGAir on Monday but I wanted to check if I am missing something simple I can fix this weekend or if anyone has experienced this.
1800 RPM, test left which is the traditional mag. It checks ok, then go to both. Test right, the PMAG and it dies. I leave the key switch on right to let the prop stop, but a second or two later the PMAG comes to life with a big bag (backfire) and the engine regains power.
I switched to both and waited a few seconds before repeating the process. No issues this test at all. Even the PMAG generator test passed.
I know the switch positively engaged during the initial test, which was my flying copilot’s immediate question.
