Recently was talking to fellow turbo Mooney pilots installing Surefly units and evidently there is some discussion of the possibility of a high altitude arcing/misfire in the ignition harness cap... Supposedly there may be cases in Cirrus aircraft with an EIS installed of arcing in the cap. I've not heard of this before and I've only found a single thread here on MS regarding this. In speaking with Surefly, they mentioned using a high-altitude ignition harness, drilling a hole in the cap and attaching to upper deck pressure line from previous mag, or both to help prevent this. I'm curious how frequently this is an issue and at what altitudes it has been documented? I also couldn't find any information documenting Cirrus issues with this, but my understanding is that is where this was first mentioned/seen? Any direct experience with this or a solution looking for a problem?

This is my first night flight after having installed a GTN750 Xi to replace 530W, GFC500 to replace KFC150 and GI275 EIS to replace Insight G4 and all other engine gauges. Also changed glare shield lights to green LED's. I had done a couple of previous flights in daylight to work out some bugs and it was ready for a night flight! It was a perfect night to fly: smooth air and stunning sunset that I "chased" flying West. Also had a really nice night landing with the new LED runway lights at 15FL. Enjoy!!
