My reference is Pooley’s flip style checklist for the PA 28.
From the OP:During this Lockdown 2 re reading 'Be A Better Pilot' by Alan Bramson', in a section on power checks and specifically mag checks, this got my attention.
"You are not looking for an RPM drop at this stage (although many pilots mistakenly do) but if a magneto is not working there is little point in taxiing out"
He seems to be implying that you're really only checking there's no mag dead cut.
As the “Be A Better Pilot’ reference implies, my understanding is, at this stage you are looking for absence of a dead cut when selecting L & R.
As ‘As I CFIT’ implies, the manufacturer need not mandate everything in their POH that could be considered ‘best practice’?
A useful link?

As this post came up in google search while I was looking for info on this item I have acquired, I thought this would be the right place to ask about it. I have found books online by Alan Bramson but no physical instrument boards like this one. I usually have an easy time researching items I acquire via house clearances and auction houses etc... but I can't find any info at all on this. Was it something you would have purchased alongside the books he published? How old is it? Any info would be great, thank you
