How many igniters are equipped in the Tradewind?

The Tradewind is equipped with two igniters for its engines. This dual igniter system is designed to enhance the reliability of engine start procedures and ensure that combustion occurs efficiently, particularly under varied operational conditions. Having two igniters allows for redundancy; if one igniter fails, the other can still initiate the ignition sequence during engine start, which is pivotal for maintaining operational safety and performance, especially in critical phases like takeoff and landing. The configuration emphasizes the importance of reliability in aviation systems, particularly for aircraft operating under Part 135 regulations, where stringent safety measures are essential.
