Aero-TV: Safety Tip of the Week – A Guide to Rotax Engine Maintenance Pt. 2

Rotax Expert Eric Tucker Explains Basic Engine Maintenance Procedure

In order for aircraft owners to get the most out of their engines, it is essential to understand proper operation and maintenance procedures. Many of the most common engine problems are preventable through routine maintenance and can ensure an engine reaches its expected T.B.O. (Time Between Overhaul) benchmark.

Prescribed maintenance procedures can be found in each engine’s respective manual, available online at www.rotax-aircraft-engines.com. Common evaluations include spark plug changes, oil changes, and periodical gearbox checks. More thorough gearbox maintenance is necessary, however, if aircraft owners choose to use aviation fuel versus the recommended motorcycle fuel with gear additive.  

As the Rotax 912 ULS is a common LSA engine, Aero-TV took the opportunity to discuss basic engine maintenance at the 2010 Sport Aviation Expo.

Join Aero-TV as Rotax factory-trained technician, Eric Tucker, explains the fundamentals of routine maintenance in second half of his two-part series.
