Rotax Expert Phil Lockwood To Host Forums In Arlington, Oshkosh

Learn Proper Care, Feeding Of Popular Sport-Plane Powerplant

Rotax aircraft engine expert Phillip Lockwood will make his signature presentation at two major airshows this summer. Lockwood has a long track record of filling all seats in his Rotax forums, so interested persons are encouraged to arrive early.

"I will offer the very popular four-stroke engine maintenance seminar at the Arlington airshow in Washington State in mid-July, and for EAA's AirVenture Oshkosh in late July/early August I will offer one talk on four-stroke Rotax engines and another for the two-stroke line," Lockwood said. The AirVenture forums take place in two locations for best availability.

The Arlington session is scheduled for 12:00 PM to 1:00 on Thursday, July 10 in Forum Tent B. For AirVenture, one talk titled, "Rotax 912 Introduction to Service and Maintenance" takes place at the Sporty's Pavilion in AirVenture's Forums Plaza at 8:30 AM to 9:45 on Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Another talk, "The Pilots Guide To Rotax Aircraft Engine Maintenance - The Two Strokes" occurs in the Ultralight/Light Plane area (near the big red barn) at 11:30 AM to 12:45 on Thursday, July 31, 2008. At both shows, schedules are posted near the forum locations so attendees can easily verify times and dates.

"The Arlington and Sporty's Pavilion presentations are great for A&P mechanics and aircraft owners who want to learn more about the training, tools and general requirements for maintaining the Rotax 912," said Lockwood. Pilots operating two-stroke Rotax engines will find the Ultralight/Light Plane Area presentation may perfectly address their needs.

As president of the number-one Rotax service center in North America, Lockwood will offer his insight into the best ways to maintain and operate your Rotax 9 series aircraft engine. His Rotax 912 talk will aid understanding of the current FAA requirements for performing maintenance on Rotax powered SLSA.

"It is the perfect introduction for A&P mechanics being asked to perform maintenance on the enlarging US fleet of Light-Sport Aircraft," Lockwood said. All Rotax owners or operators may benefit by attending.

After hearing Lockwood's presentation, A&P mechanics that wish to go forward with complete engine training can contact Aero Technical Institute (ATI) regarding classes to increase their ability to service Rotax engines. A set of sixteen-hour courses is offered by ATI at the Sebring Airport facilities of Lockwood Aviation. Contact ATI at 863-655-7373 for more information on the upcoming A&P courses.

The 9-series engines from Rotax power an overwhelming majority of Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA). Since 1973, Rotax has delivered more than 125,000 engines and annually produces more than 200,000 powerplants for a variety of vehicles, 70% of which are four stroke engines.

Lockwood Aviation is the country's largest and busiest service organization for Rotax engines.
