Engine Monitors, Electronic Ignition & Magnetos

Two of the most practical upgrades for a piston airplane happen out of sight: better engine data and better ignition. Aero Professionals helps owners at Gastonia Municipal Airport (KAKH) and across the Charlotte area with both.

Electronics International (EI) engine monitors, dealer

Aero Professionals is a dealer for Electronics International (EI) engine monitors and engine information systems (EIS). A good engine monitor shows cylinder head and exhaust gas temperatures for every cylinder, along with fuel flow and other critical parameters. That makes it easier to lean properly, spot a developing problem early, and give your mechanic real data to work from. We help you choose the right EI system for your aircraft and install it.

SureFly electronic magnetos, authorized dealer

We are a SureFly authorized dealer. SureFly electronic magnetos are designed to replace a conventional magneto. Many owners start by swapping one mag to gain the benefits of electronic ignition while keeping a traditional magneto on the other side. We can help you work out whether SureFly fits your engine and installation.

Electroair electronic ignition

We also install Electroair electronic ignition systems for owners looking for an alternative ignition solution. We'll talk through the installation and what to expect.

Garmin engine displays

If you prefer an engine display that shares the look of a Garmin flight instrument, we also handle GI 275 EIS installation. See Avionics Installation & Troubleshooting.

Combine with your inspection

Engine monitor and ignition work goes faster when the cowling is already open. Many owners schedule these upgrades during their annual or 100-hour inspection. Pair it with an oil change and oil analysis and you'll have both trend data and live engine data working for you.

Aircraft we work on

We commonly work on Piper, Mooney, Cessna, Maule, CubCrafters and Socata TB9, TB20 and TB21 aircraft. Ask us about your specific airframe and engine.
