In-Flight Mag Checks

[RyanB]

After reading Mike Busch’s article ‘The Mag Check’ (https://resources.savvyaviation.com/wp-content/uploads/articles_eaa/EAA_2010-12_the-mag-check.pdf) I’ve been routinely performing an in-flight check, which is something I’ve never done, until I came across this article. Definitely seems like a beneficial way to keep an eye on your ignition system and often times doesn’t seem to get discussed very much.

So, does anyone else do in-flight mag checks on a regular basis?

I agree. While testing in flight may be a more accurate indicator, it strikes me as just not worth the additional risk.
