Mag Check in Flight
My mechanic is chasing a mag drop in my front engine and chastized me for checking my mags in flight. I told him that's the only way I found the problem. I have checked mags in flight for almost 50 years. It's not a routine thing but I've never hestitated to make a check just randomly or when I thought I detected something.
He says the mag might arc inside the cap and damage the mag if checked at high power (75% cruise power) in flight. Anybody have any comments about not checking a mag in flight?
