Paul and all,

I come back on the little discussion we had some time ago about possible
fire danger created by Mg-alloy parts. I checked with our head Powerplant
DER and his answer is clear: there is NOTHING in FAR or in any AC against Mg
parts or about the way to use them in an aircraft engine.  As a matter of
fact, the Porsche engine, for which certification he was head DER, had a
number of Mg parts and it was a non-issue.
