01

 

An upgraded, durable magneto replacement designed for easy installation

The Lycoming EIS serves as a direct replacement for traditional magnetos, offering simple installation and effectively optimizing engine starting performance. Designed with a service life that matches the engine's Time Between Overhaul (TBO) interval, it eliminates the need for the periodic scheduled maintenance typically required for magnetos.


02

 

Innovative structural design for enhanced flight safety

Lycoming continues to advance engine electronic control technology, dedicated to improving aviation operational safety, equipment durability, and power performance. The EIS features an all-solid-state design with no moving internal parts, fundamentally minimizing the need for scheduled maintenance.


03

 

Rigorously tested and built to Lycoming standards

Developed jointly by SureFly and Lycoming’s engineering team, the Lycoming EIS is manufactured in strict accordance with Lycoming’s rigorous technical specifications. The product is the result of over two years of development and extensive durability and reliability testing. As the only electronic ignition system on the market bearing Lycoming’s official certification mark, its performance has been fully validated through both ground and flight testing.




Solid-state electronic components: No removable parts; no Lycoming periodic maintenance requirements.


✅ Precision ignition control: Uses ignition timing adjustment regardless of engine RPM, making the engine easier to start while maintaining consistent ignition power.


Superior cost-effectiveness: Eliminates the 500-hour inspection requirement; the unit is replaced as a whole during engine overhaul. EIS is the only electronic ignition system on the market with a proven performance track record.


Built-in timing verification:No external timing equipment required.
