Electronic ignition approved for Robinson Helicopters
New R22 and R44 helicopters will be outfitted with Lycoming’s recently certified Electronic Ignition System (EIS). The EIS replaces the left starting magneto, the remaining right magneto providing redundant ignition and eliminating the need for a backup power supply.
The system has very high spark energy for improved starting characteristics and eliminates internal moving parts for increased reliability and reduced maintenance. Additionally, it is designed to last the life of the engine with no scheduled maintenance between overhauls, eliminating the required 500-hour inspection.
Type Certificate granted for Airbus Helicopters H160
Airbus Helicopters’ multi-role twin-engine H160 has been granted its type certificate by EASA, with FAA certification expected shortly, prior to the first delivery to an undisclosed US customer later this year.
