AD: BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG Rotax Reciprocating Engines

AD NUMBER: 2013-15-19

PRODUCT: All BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG Rotax model 912 F2; 912 F3; 912 F4; 912 S2; 912 S3; 912 S4; 914 F2; 914 F3; and 914 F4 reciprocating engines.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-15-19
ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments.

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above That AD required a one-time visual inspection for excessive oil or carbon deposits on the cylinder No. 2 and No. 3 (2/3) spark plug center and grounding electrodes, and if found, replacement of the cylinder head before further flight. This AD was prompted by a report that additional engine cylinder heads are likely to be affected.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent excessive oil consumption, which could result in an in-flight engine shutdown, forced landing, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective August 27, 2013. Comments on this AD must be received by September 26, 2013.

FMI: AD
