Is an in-flight magneto check generally recommended?  

Thanks,

470 hours SNEW on mags and plugs.  I did get #5 & #1 going offscale last trip but that is normally corrected by tightening the connectors on that side of the engine.  The EGT wires use a friction connector.  So, the inflight mag check is the best initial diagnostic?  Thanks for the idea,
