Cessna 172 Toronto To Cornwall - Testing The ElectroAir Electronic Ignition

Toronto To Cornwall - Testing The ElectroAir Electronic Ignition
In this aviation adventure, join me as I take my aircraft, a Cessna 172 with the call sign Fox Mike Victor Uniform, on a journey to Cornwall. The day starts with the chilly weather, prompting me to skip the usual intro and head straight to the plane for a warm-up.

As we taxi and prepare for takeoff, I share some technical details about the electronic ignition system recently installed in the aircraft, highlighting its advantages over traditional magnetos. Throughout the flight, I meticulously note performance numbers, such as fuel burn, RPM, and true airspeed, comparing them to pre-upgrade data.

Flying over familiar landscapes and reminiscing about childhood memories on an island, I discuss the significance of tracking flight data using tools like Savvy Aviation and CloudAhoy. The journey takes us over the Thousand Islands region, where the border between Canada and the United States meanders through countless islands.

While enjoying the scenic views, I provide updates on the Trio autopilot system and a recent enhancement with a Dynon ARINC module. Though basic functionality is currently engaged, I eagerly anticipate a firmware update for seamless integration between Trio and Dynon, promising a more advanced autopilot system.

Approaching Cornwall airport, I capture the landing process, highlighting the airport's bustling activity, reasonable fuel prices, and a quick pit stop for a sweet treat. After refuelling, we depart for the return journey to my home base at Oshawa airport, discussing the flight's key takeaways and the overall success of the electronic ignition system.

Upon landing, I express my satisfaction with the system's flawless performance, emphasizing its reliability and the long-term cost savings it offers. As the adventure concludes, I plan to review the collected data, crunch the numbers, and share the insights on fuel efficiency achieved with the new electronic ignition system.

Thank you for joining me on this aviation journey, and I look forward to sharing more adventures with you soon. Safe skies!
