|

I've read that Rotax offers a "certified" version of their 912 engines.
It seems that the main difference is a documented audit trail of every
part used to build the engine. Otherwise, it is the exact same engine
... no performance or reliability improvements. If I recall correctly,
the "certification" adds $7000 to the cost of the engine. The military
is probably the only customer.
So, until we start seeing Jabiru engines being used in military drones,
I wouldn't expect to see a "certified" version.

Hi,
in the UK it is quite usual to have a type certified combination of
engine and prop. This would be the pairing which was certified as safe
and complying with noise rules.
Changing say from a 2 blade to a 3 blade prop which was not type
approved might involve running the noise testing again. Once that had
been done in one instance of course and approved it is then OK for
anyone else who wishes to do the same thing.

The work needed by a manufacturer to get certification is immense, also
given what we know about Jabiru engines they could never achieve it as
their record is dire.
We benefit from an uncertified world so we can use cheap uncertified
equipment, and we get what we pay for....

You certainly can if you are under the American Experimental banner and
I envy that.. On the other hand I dont think that anyone in the UK would
think of setting fire to their machine rather than sell it and accept
the liability. Not yet anyway

It may be worth emailing JabiruUSA to see if the prop/engine combination
you wish to use has been type certified on any of the Jabiru planes, if so I
think that would be OK for general use. It would be great to not have to
spend 40 hours test flying!

And your point is?? There are plenty of so called Type certified engines
that have very poor TBO times.

Ya know guys, I just don't understand it.
Ya built the plane to fly. So what is the difference if you fly 25 hrs or
40 hrs to get it signed off? Tong fully extended at DAR.
Only problem I would have with it is distance allowed... Maybe you could
request a larger area to fly in, or start with 25 Hrs and a small area (if
that is the issue ) and have the DAR sign off on a larger area after you
reach 25 Hrs. But get the sign off right at the start.

The type certificated Rotax 912 engines are built on the same assembly line as the UL engines but there are some very minor differences, other than the paper-trail.
The type certificated 912 F3 engine in the Diamond Katana I've been maintaining for several years has two springs on the throttle arm of the carbs instead of just one. It also has aircraft aluminum fuel tubing from the distribution block to the two carbs instead of of flexible hose. The return line to the tank also has braided SS tubing but this last bit is an airframe specific item that may be peculiar to the Diamond. The other fuel line from the firewall to the mechanical pump is regular flexible hose as is the hose from the mechanical pump to the distribution block. The coolant hoses appear to be identical but the oil hoses, instead of being standard push-on type are made-up hoses with special end fittings, also Diamond specific. The Katana also has an airframe specific air shroud over the top of the cylinders which ducts air directly from the cowl inlet to the cylinders.
Although the vast majority of the parts are identical, when I order replacement parts I must specify Certificated to get the required paperwork that keeps the Diamond legal. Of course Lockwood gets a higher price for these paper-trail parts.

There are many companies around the world and here in the US that use the 912S certified engine.
