It's so that you can test that both magnetos are working properly before takeoff. The whole point of the system is that the engine will keep running on one mag, so you wouldn't know that one mag was broken unless you tested it.

Given that the "mechanical weathering" allows for random failures, it might be worth doing preflight checks in CoD, though I'm not sure quite how you go about "explaining" to the game engine that you refused to fly the mission because the aeroplane was U/S...
