Hartzell Engine announced on Monday that it has received FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (FAA-PMA) for its PowerUP S-1200 Series aircraft magnetos.
The PowerUP S-1200 is designed for both 4- and 6-cylinder engines as a direct replacement for general aviation aircraft. They are available in impulse-coupled and "Shower of Sparks" configurations. Hartzell claims the magnetos deliver a superior high-altitude performance to above 30,000 feet without the need for pressurization.
"Achieving PMA for the S-1200 Series magnetos is another step in expanding our commitment to providing the aviation community with the most trusted and durable ‘firewall forward' solutions," said Rick Quave, VP of engineering. "These magnetos are built to perform in the most demanding conditions, for enhanced reliability and performance that pilots can depend on."

The PowerUP S-1200 is designed, built and tested in-house along with the rest of the PowerUP Ignition Systems line. Hartzell has begun taking distribution orders for the magnetos and expects them to be globally available by the end of 2026's first quarter.
