Standard Ignition and Fuel System |
vs. |
The Eagle EMS |
|
Higher idle speeds mean more braking, accelerating brake wear. |
Smoother running, especially at idle, allows for lower idle speeds. |
|
|
The pilot needs to manually adjust the mixture for all atmospheric conditions and altitudes. |
Elimination of the mixture control lever reduces pilot workload. The system automatically compensates for atmospheric conditions and altitudes. |
|
|
Prolonged cranking for hot starts and in cold conditions reduces battery and starter life. |
Significantly improved starting performance extends battery and starter life. |
|
|
Constant manipulation of the mixture is necessary to achieve optimum power and performance. |
Automatic, constant fuel and ignition compensation, providing for optimum power at all altitudes and atmospheric conditions. |
|
|
Plugs foul in extended idle situations, lessening engine efficiency and leading to a rough-running engine. |
Smoother running at idle means less carbon buildup on internal engine parts, longer spark plug life, and a cleaner-running engine. |
|
|
No redundancy in the fuel system: only one fuel system with no backup capability in the event of a failure. |
Redundant fuel system, due to the primary and secondary systems within the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). |

Added Value Comparisons |
||
|
Approximate list price of a new fuel injection system: $6400 (for IO-360 engine). |
List price of the Eagle EMS: $10,750.00. |
|
|
Approximate list price of two impulse coupled magnetos: $1588.00. For two non-impulse coupled magnetos, $1476.00. The list price of the magnetos plus the fuel injection system may range from approximately $7900 to over $8000, not including any magneto inspections. |
The Eagle EMS has no magnetos. Therefore, no magneto inspections are required. |
|
|
TBO costs may vary depending on magneto inspection requirements and intervals. These inspections can be as often as every 500 hours and cost $400-plus per magneto. |
The Eagle EMS is supported by a warranty program of two years, or 1,000 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. There is also a full TBO warranty on a Lamar starter when it is installed with the Eagle EMS system. |
