I plan to replace the right Slick mag with an Electroair system for N1XS (IO540/RV-10). The EI was removed from my previous plane, re-conditioned & certified by Electroair (it's essentially new). So, I'm in a unique position to conduct before / after testing on an EI that may give meaningful empirical results.
My panel has two AFS 5600 (EE & EF) & an AFS 5500T (MFD). The logging should be very useful in capturing data, loading it into excel, smoothing it & creating graphs (etc.) to visualize it for comparison purposes.
What test regimen would VAFers recommend to give useful before & after data?
What are the settings for capturing comparable performance data recognizing this is likely to be on different days with varying atmospheric conditions. For instance, I can see GPH, climb timing, RPM, etc..
And, with your suggestions, please prioritize them by order of importance.
I expect to develop a reasonable test regimen to make this do-able. As Dave Fetherston of Nexair Avionics is fond of saying "Let's not make a science fair project out of it!"
The test regimen should be set by mid-June & results by end-of-June to end-of-July (work schedule & AVWX permitting).
