New Rotax Classes Offered Leading Up To Sebring LSA Expo

Aero Technical Institute Holding Sessions At Sebring

Aero Technical Institute will be holding training classes focused on Rotax engine maintenance just before the Sebring LSA Expo. "More than 80% of the aircraft in the Light-Sport Aircraft category are using the Rotax power plants,” said Aero Technical Institute’s Director and Rotax expert, Dean Vogel. He noted they still have class slots open for the days leading up to the Sebring LSA Expo.

Those classes include:

  • Service Training ($495) — Offered January 13th and 14th — Covers the engine systems, operational issues, routine service, and inspections, including the condition inspection (100 hour or annual). It is intended for the Light Sport operator/owner and as an introductory course for homebuilders and licensed maintainers. Each course is a prerequisite for the one that follows.
  • Maintenance ($495) — Offered January 16th and 17th — Continues deeper into engine systems and installation issues, troubleshooting and major component disassembly. It is intended for homebuilders and licensed maintainers. Each course is a prerequisite for the one that follows.
  • Heavy Maintenance ($695) — Continues covering engine disassembly of all components, except splitting the case, and goes into the repair of the major engine components. This course is intended for maintainers who will be setting up or working in a heavy maintenance repair center. A minimum experience level is also required for the Heavy Maintenance level of training.
  • Class for 2-stroke Rotax engines — A class is scheduled for the two days immediately after the Expo (23rd and 24th).

“We like to schedule these classes close to airshows like Sport Aviation Expo and Sun 'n Fun,” said Vogel. “Many customers have no problem with the cost of the class, but when the cost of transportation is added, they struggle with a decision. Planning our classes close to shows that customers are attending anyway makes it much easier for operators and maintainers to afford.”
