SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 102 ISSUE 1 PAGE 1 OF 2 TITLE Checking of the Rotax 912 engine crankcase for cracks. CLASSIFICATION Cyclone Airsports considers this bulletin compulsory. COMPLIANCE Within next 25 hours APPLICABILITY Pegasus Quantum 912 with engine serial numbers as follows: Rotax 912UL up to S/N 4,403.074 INTRODUCTION The engines listed must be checked for cracks in the crankcase caused by vibrations, impacts,forces,thermal strain etc. Possible causes of cracks include: -Unapproved and untested modifications -Improper carburetor synchronization -Unsuitable idle speed (too low) -Unsuitable engine mounting/undamped vibrations -propeller balance out of tolerance -friction torque in the backlash range of gear box not within tolerance -lack of maintenance -ground contact -excessive thermal strain -exceeding of maximum admissible engine speed -exceeding of maximum admissible manifold pressure. Running the engine with cracks invites the risk of loss of oil/seizure/fire risk, major engine damage with possible detachment of a cylinder barrel etc. Checking of crankcase: Using the diagram below, inspect the crankcase (1) and engine mounting area. Scrutinize the crankcase for cracks especially in the area of cylinder 1 upper side (2), between cylinder 1 and 3 upper side (3) and cylinder 4 lower side (4) see fig1. Leaking oil may be found at the site of a crack . If cracks are detected the nearest ROTAX Authorized Distributor has to be informed and if necessary the engine has to be removed from the aircraft and must be returned to ROTAX Authorized Distributor. Disconnect the battery and HT before working on the engine.

Looking After Your Rotax 912 Series Engine
LOOKING AFTER YOUR ROTAX 912 SERIES ENGINE Most of the things you wanted to know about servicing a Rotax 912/914 series aircraft engine but were afraid to ask…. By Conrad Beale Copyright ConAir Sports Ltd. All rights reserved. Page 1 of 20 Most of the things you wanted to know about servicing a Rotax 912/914 series aircraft engine but were afraid to ask…. By Conrad Beale This article has been written by Conrad Beale of ConAir Sports Ltd. It is intended to help you look after your 912 series engine. It is in no way endorsed by Rotax. All information contained here in may be subject to change without notice. It does not substitute, override or in any way replace the information given in the Installation / Maintenance or Operators Manuals or any subsequent documentation issued by Rotax. The intention of this article is to assist the many Rotax 4 stroke engine owners, operators and engineers to carry out the work necessary to prolong the life of their Rotax 912/914 series aircraft engines. This article will touch on a number of subjects and will hopefully clear up some of the common questions we get asked. Some areas will be covered in detail, others less so. I hope it covers everything sufficiently. I have been involved with Rotax engines for 25+ years, 18 of which have been working commercially on Rotax aircraft engines. 8 years ago I set up ConAir Sports Ltd with my wife Louise and we are the only UK Skydrive appointed Service Centre for Rotax Aircraft Engines.

Rotax Service Interval Guide Not New News, but a Very Informative Summary
Rotax Service Interval Guide Not new news, but a very informative summary With growing numbers of 912 & 914 series engines in service these days Rotax have gathered a great deal of field experience and have been continually updating the maintenance procedures. Operators of 912 & 914 series engines can obtain current maintenance manuals free of charge, (yep I did say FREE) from the Rotax aircraft engines web site www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com – just click on the documentation tab & fill in the relevant search boxes to obtain the documents you require. You will find parts lists, line & heavy maintenance manuals, service bulletins, operator’s manuals, installation manuals, and a whole host of information you may not have known about. The system is not perfect, for example parts lists for early engines are not available, but it is pretty good & full of useful documentation. We do find that some Rotax owners find the documentation difficult to interpret and occasionally miss things - agreed it can be difficult to see the wood through the trees, especially after translation. As the maintenance & overhaul information has changed over the last couple of years it’s probably a good time to have a recap on how things are now. So before the flying season gets too busy why not take the opportunity to make sure your engine is ready for the new flying season – I’m assured its going to be a good one this year! Figure 1: Documentation page of the Rotax Aircraft Engines website (www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com) MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES The alterations to the maintenance schedules over the years have mainly been to reduce the work required and the parts replaced, so should you want to save a few pennies in these difficult times you better read on.

Carburetor Synchronization
Carburetor Synchronization With the proliferation of the Rotax 912 80 hp and the Rotax 912S 100 hp engines, the topic of carburetor synchronization has come to the forefront. Until about the 1980s, the popularity of Continental and Lycoming engines dominated the general aviation market, these engines used a single carburetor providing for a single source of air and fuel to the cylinders. The use of dual carburetors was primarily relegated to the area of the two-stroke ultralight market. And, even with these engines, the process of carburetor synchronization was quite simple and reliable. How- ever, with the popularity of the Rotax 9 series engines, it has become import- ant to under- stand a little bit more about how the induc- tion system works on this amazing little powerhouse. This understand- ing is important not only from a maintenance standpoint, but from a pilot’s per- spective as well. The Rotax 912 is essentially two engines connected to a single crankshaft and gearbox with both Figure: 1 The Rotax 912 is two separate engines connected to a common crankshaft the left and right sides of the engine having their own independent carburetor, ignition, and exhaust sys- tem Figure: 1. As you might well imagine, having two engines trying to run a single propeller requires a bit of choreography between the right and left side of the en- gine in order to make things run smoothly. Most of us, who have spent a consider- able amount of time in the air, can remember a time when one of the cylinders on a four-cylinder engine just quit firing, maybe from fouled spark plugs, or a plugged fuel Figure: 2 Clamping off the crossover (Balance) hose injector.

Simulation Research of Aircraft Piston Engine Rotax 912
MATEC Web of Conferences 252, 05007 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201925205007 CMES’18 Simulation Research of Aircraft Piston Engine Rotax 912 Łukasz Grabowski1,*, Ksenia Siadkowska1, and Krzysztof Skiba1 1 Lublin University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Aviation Propulsion Systems, Nadbystrzycka 36 Str., 20-618 Lublin, Poland Abstract. This paper reports the results of simulation works of Rotax 912 aircraft piston engine, which is a basic unit in most ultra-light aircrafts. The method for preparing the model aircraft engine operation process was presented. Simulation tests were carried out in the AVL Boost programme. The programme allows a full use of zero-dimensional and one-dimensional modelling. It also allows a comparison of other engine models. The developed model has enabled us to simulate the flow of air through the inlet pipes, carburettors, valves and combustion process. The preparation of the model required us to enter parameters that are not available in the manufacturer's catalogue, therefore, necessary measurements and analysis of the engine parts were carried out on a laboratory bench. The calculations in the AVL Boost programme were carried out in the conditions determined for the selected BMEP values with the objective of characterising the engine performance by determining its power, torque and fuel consumption. 1 Introduction was indicated as one of the companies active in engine research and development. Numerous tests Piston internal combustion engines are still used to are carried out using Rotax engines [5-8]. In NASA's drive light aircrafts. This is mainly related to lowering The Green Flight Challenge programme, aimed at the specific fuel consumption [1, 2].

On arriving at the aerodrome, he carried out three aerodrome traffic patterns before making a complete landing shortly before 14:00. After passing by the runway office, the student pilot and instructor got back into the plane. At 14:12, they took off from runway 05 for the return flight. During the initial climb, the aeroplane turned left, then the turn became steeper. The aeroplane entered a nose-down spin and crashed into a small wood bordering Neuchâtel lake, at around 600 m from the threshold of runway 23 of the aerodrome.
