We have J2B engines in our Chieftain that we purchased 2 years ago (1975 model)
I'm pretty sure it has the Bendix 1200 mags, which I noticed are not pressurised.
They say the -1200 is certified to 25,000ft (unpressurised!) but I'm wondering if this if for naturally aspirated engines - not that many NA aircraft would get up that high - or turbocharged?

We are currently using slick mags but the Bendix ones are certified to 25,000 unpressurized!
We recently obtained 2 PA31-350 with the bendix mags so went through the hoops and these are, indeed, good to go to altitude but
we chose to change them over (and add the pressurization lines etc since the rest of our fleet is on Slicks and we have had great
luck with the slick mags and Slickstart systems :-)
That make sense?

Makes sense! Haven’t had any issues with the Bendix ourselves - on paper this would seem the superior magneto, doesn’t required the complication, humidity, FOD etc of pressurised air. And I’ve never had it not start hot cold or in between.
What’s the advantage of slicks?
