And it's interesting how dramatic the effect of turning one off is. Part of the old pre-takeoff check is to verify operation of both.

Yeah even single-engines are pretty redundant, two fuel tanks, two pumps, two mags (like you said), two intakes, often even with a jug blown out the other 3 cylinders will still fire (but not always).

And for the rest of the reading audience, we still use magnetos on aircraft engines because they are simple and reliable. Consider that shitty old lawnmower you completely neglect. Still fires up every spring, right? Magneto.

Turbine engines FTW. No batteries required.

Well even the PC12 has batteries.. (just for the startup and the computers though) But yeah once it's running you have 2 batteries and 2 generators for quadruple power sources. And any one can power the whole aircraft (finite amount of time for the batteries though)
