Getting To Know The Rotax 912

In what the company hopes will be the first of many such classes, on Tuesday, August 7, California Power Systems of San Leandro, CA hosted the first of its kind Official LSA Heavy Maintenance School, that meets the requirements for the Endorsement of the Heavy Maintenance Engine Specialty portion of the Light Sport Rule for Rotax 912 Engines.

The school was conducted at CPS’s new hangar located on Oakland North Field. This was the first time the newly written Rotax factory approved syllabus was given allowing attendees to fulfill this important requirement. Up until now all training that was available was strictly informational owner/operator schools that did not fulfill the legal requirements on this material.

The three-day Rotax 912 Heavy Maintenance School was conducted by Rotax factory Trained Technician Eric Tucker. In addition to the multitude of topics covered, students also participated in a complete engine rebuild, disassembly and discuss correct procedures and maintenance for the four-stroke series.

Participates where supplied all printed material including all Rotax Parts, Service, and Service Bulletin Manuals.

In accordance with LSA Regulations students passed a written exam and received a Certificate of Completion that allows the mechanic to perform work listed above legally under LSA Regulations.
