Task Description:
The North Wing Apache may have one set of mag switches (2 switches) or two sets (four
switches). The second set is optional and would only be used when the aircraft is intended to
be used for instruction. This gives the instructor the ability to easily shut down the engine if it
becomes necessary. The primary set is mounted on the front control panel as shown below
and the second set is mounted on the upper right corner of the seat frame as shown below.
A mag switch works by grounding out the ignition charging coil so that the high voltage spark
CANNOT be generated. If either the ground connection to the switch is broken, or the line
from the charging coils to the switch is broken, the mag switch cannot ground out the engine
ignition and the engine will continue to run. Since there are two independent ignition systems,
