Narrative:
Magneto, right side, stops working! Working pbi approach, then switched to mia approach. After 6 calls with mia in heavy traffic load, switched to fxe tower and landed as soon as possible due mechanical condition! Unable to contact mia approach to advise of altitude change. Altitude reporting problem made it quite difficult while en route to fxe airport! Heavy radio traffic prevented orderly changeover to fxe tower via pbi and mia approach.

Title: IN ORDER TO CONTINUE SAFELY TO THE DEST AFTER A MAGNETO FAILURE, A PLT ENTERED CLASS C AIRSPACE. FREQ CONGESTION MADE 2-WAY RADIO COM IMPOSSIBLE.
Narrative: MAGNETO, R SIDE, STOPS WORKING! WORKING PBI APCH, THEN SWITCHED TO MIA APCH. AFTER 6 CALLS WITH MIA IN HVY TFC LOAD, SWITCHED TO FXE TWR AND LANDED ASAP DUE MECHANICAL CONDITION! UNABLE TO CONTACT MIA APCH TO ADVISE OF ALT CHANGE. ALT RPTING PROB MADE IT QUITE DIFFICULT WHILE ENRTE TO FXE ARPT! HVY RADIO TFC PREVENTED ORDERLY CHANGEOVER TO FXE TWR VIA PBI AND MIA APCH.
