A computer implemented function monitors the position of the magneto switch in an aircraft to provide real-time feedback of engine RPM drop during a magneto (mag) check and communicates whether parameters are within limits. The function can also monitor engine and groundspeed/airspeed data in an aircraft to verify the magneto switch is in the correct position during engine start, takeoff and flight and can provide an alert to the pilot if the switch is not in the correct position. The automated magneto check function provides an easy way to test the operation of the aircraft's engine-driven magnetos and provides additional safety by alerting the pilot to unsafe positioning of the switch.
