Mags Overhaul

Received my overhauled mags last week. They were working ok but since they had just passed 500h and I couldn't find any trace of maintenance on them in the logs, I decided to make preventive maintenance and send them as recommended by my friend François. It turned out it was a good idea; one mag had a broken case and a magnet pitted by corrosion!


Both flanges were cracked like this:

Corroded magnet shaft:


Newly overhauled mags with the following replaced by new:

  • one casing
  • one magnet
  • new contacts
  • new capacitors
  • impulse coupling spring
  • and a bunch of little brackets and parts all in the bag shown on the first picture of this post



Thanks to Luc from BL Aviation for his great service!
