  • FROM the LEFT SEAT Len Alt, President
    Volume 07 - 05 May 2007 FROM THE LEFT SEAT Len Alt, President Spring greetings. With the good weather finally arrived I hope you are all getting in some great flights. Below see Dave Riedel enjoying the evening air above Warrenton Air Park in his new PPG Quad, the latest addition to the long list at WAP of strange contraptions that will fly. With the great weather comes a welcome increase in flying activity at the Air Park. As we begin the new flying season let’s take a minute to focus on safety in all we do, on the ground as well as in the air. We’ll have more aircraft moving in the skies and over the ground. At the Air Park we have a wide range of aircraft types, with very different operating characteristics, speeds, and takeoff and landing procedures. Please be extra careful of the other guy, especially since in many cases the other guy at Warrenton Air Park is a relatively new pilot with limited experience. If you see someone doing something unsafe, take a minute to discuss it with them and point out a better procedure. If you would prefer not to do that, contact me and I will speak with the other guy and keep your name out of it. You may find out the other pilot was not aware of the hazard created and appreciates the heads up. Thanks to Mel Bearns and Jim Birnbaum for arranging a tour of the FAA Air Traffic Control Center at Vint Hill on May 6th at 11:00 A.M.

As the aircraft was crossing the Firth of Forth, the pilot (who was also the owner) noticed a smell of burning. He immediately carried out a 180° turn to head back to land, reducing power from 5,400 to 4,000 RPM and aimed for Sorbie airfield. Descending through 3,700 feet the engine stopped abruptly so the pilot selected a suitable field into which he was able to perform a safe landing into wind, with no further incident. Examination after the landing showed that the crankshaft had failed and had then penetrated the engine casing. The engine was removed from the aircraft and, after the engine was dismantled, the failed crankshaft items were sent to the AAIB for further investigation (Figure 1 shows the failed item, next to an intact crankshaft from a later Rotax 582 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.
