A magneto is small generator formed from a permanent magnet, which uses electricity to give outputs such as pulses of high voltage. A magneto has a transformer, switch and distributor, which give alternating current the direction to the plug that produces sparks. Timing in magneto is the interval in which the breaking point occurs after producing the sparks. Therefore, the purpose of magneto timing is to actualize high voltage used to produce sparks at the right time. It is achieved through the internal and external timing.

For instance, the generation of reports by an accountant can be laborious when done manually.

Question 1: What drives the basic economies of the airline industry? The refining industry?

The revenue side of the airline industry is driven by the amount of passengers an airline can carry per flight.

Fuel costs may represent 30 to 50% of total operating costs in the airline industry (Grassbaugh, 2013). For the refining industry, the cost of crude oil is the major driver (Grassbaugh, 2013). Hence, when the price of crude falls, refining margins tend to rise.

In the past, airlines were innovative and dynamic partners of transport that controlled and regulated passengers’ experience.
