PETROL ENGINES uses an ELECTRIC SPARK forIGNITION.
DIESEL ENGINES rely on FUEL COMPRESSIONfor ignition.
GAS TURBINES uses MAGENTO TYPE ignitionsystems, also have a CAPACITOR DISCHARGEIGNITION SYSTEM using one or more ignitorplugs, which are only used at start up.

Most modern aircraft engines use magnetos to generatethe spark, magnetos are useful in aircraft because:
They produce a hotter spark at high engine speeds thanthe battery system used in automobiles.
They do not depend on an external source of energysuch as a battery, a generator, or an alternator.
Self reliable,less weight.

WORKING:
The magneto type ignition system is used on mostreciprocating aircraft engines.
Magnetos are engine driven self-contained units supplyingelectrical current without using an external source of current. However, before they can produce current the magnetos must
be actuated as the engine crankshaft is rotated by some othermeans.
To accomplish this, the aircraft battery furnishes electricalpower to operate a starter, which through a series of gears,rotates the engine crankshaft. This in turn actuates thearmature of the magneto to produce the sparks for ignition ofthe fuel in each cylinder.
After the engine starts, the starter system is disengaged, and
the battery no longer contributes to the actual operation of theengine.

Most aircraft engines are equipped with a dual ignitionsystemtwo magnetos that supply electrical current totwo spark plugs for each cylinder. One magneto system
supplies the current to one set of plugs; the secondsystem supplies the current to the other set of plugs.This is why the ignition switch has five positions: OFF, L(LEFT), R (RIGHT), BOTH, and START. With the switch
in the L or R position, only one magneto supplies currentand only one set of spark plugs fires. With the switch inthe BOTH position, both magnetos supply current andboth sets of spark plugs fire.

Increased safety and efficiency.
If one magneto system fails, the engine can operate onthe other system until you can make a safe landing.
Two spark plugs improve burning and combustion ofthe mixture, delivering improved performance.

LASAR which stands for Limited Authority Spark AdvanceRegulator, is the first microprocessor based engine controlsystem approved by the FAA for general aviation pistonaircraft.
With the system operating in its automatic mode, cylinderhead temperature, manifold pressure, and engine speed(RPM) are monitored by the LASAR controller to establishand command the optimum ignition timing and sparkenergy to produce maximum torque from the engine.
LASAR has an inherent mechanical magneto backupsystem that automatically assumes control if electricalpower is interrupted or if the microprocessor detects asystem fault.

Installation requires replacement of standardmagnetos with Lasar magnetos, a LASAR ControlBox, which is mounted to the firewall, a low-
voltage control harness that carries the electronicsignals between the system components
