The EIS (Electronic Ignition System) for Lycoming engines is an advanced ignition system designed to replace traditional
magneto-based ignition systems. It offers improved performance,
reliability, and efficiency for Lycoming aircraft engines, such as
the popular O-360, IO-360, and other models.
Key Features of the EIS Lycoming Electronic Ignition System
1.Dual Electronic Ignition:
Replaces traditional magnetos with dual electronic ignition systems
for redundancy and reliability.
Provides precise spark timing for improved engine performance.
2.Improved Fuel Efficiency:
Optimized spark timing ensures more complete combustion, leading to
better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.
3.Enhanced Performance:
Delivers smoother engine operation, better throttle response, and
increased power output.
Reduces engine vibration and wear.
4.Altitude and Load Compensation:
Automatically adjusts ignition timing based on altitude, engine
load, and other factors for optimal performance.
5.Reduced Maintenance:
Eliminates the need for magneto maintenance, such as timing
adjustments and internal inspections.
Fewer moving parts compared to traditional magnetos, resulting in
lower long-term maintenance costs.
6.Compatibility:
Designed for Lycoming engines, including the O-360, IO-360, and
other four- and six-cylinder models.
Can be installed on both carbureted and fuel-injected engines.
Benefits of Electronic Ignition Over Traditional Magnetos
1.Precision:
Electronic ignition systems provide precise spark timing, which
improves combustion efficiency and engine performance.
2.Reliability:
Dual electronic ignition systems offer redundancy, reducing the
risk of ignition failure.
3.Ease of Starting:
Improved starting performance, especially in cold weather or at
high altitudes.
4.Reduced Emissions:
More complete combustion leads to lower emissions and a
cleaner-running engine.
5.Weight Savings:
Electronic ignition systems are often lighter than traditional
magnetos, contributing to overall weight reduction.
Applications
General Aviation Aircraft: Commonly used in Lycoming-powered aircraft like the Cessna 172,
Piper PA-28, and similar models.
Experimental and Homebuilt Aircraft: Popular among builders seeking improved performance and
reliability.
Retrofits: Can be installed as an upgrade to existing Lycoming engines.
