SMALL CONTACT DAMAGE TO UNDERSIDE OF MAGNETO FACE BY PAWLS DUE TO LOOSE RIVETS.SDR 2026FA0000795Magneto · faultedDURING FLIGHT, THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A SMOOTH PARTIAL LOSS OF POWER WITH AN RPM DECREASE OF APPROX 200–400 RPM. DISCONTINUED THE FLIGHT & MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT AN AIRPORT OTHER THAN THE ACFT’S HOME AIRPORT. THE MAGNETO HAD APPROX 115 HRS OF SERVICE & SDR 2026FA0000684Seal · failedAFTER COMPLETION OF THE ANNUAL INSPECTION, WE PERFORMED A POST INSPECTION RUN. DURING IDLE WE CHECKED EACH MAGNETO AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE RAN SIGNIFICANTLY ROUGHER ON THE LEFT MAGNETO THAN THE RIGHT MAGNETO. AT HIGHER RPM OPERATION WAS NORMAL. REMOVED LEF
