 Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:03 am Post subject: Rotax EASA AD |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
I came aware of a recent AD concerning the Rotax engines.
Something about certain faulty crankshafts installed in 912's and 914's,
serious enough to warrant an emergency AD for certified airplanes.
Before I attempt to find out if my engine could have this faulty
crankshaft, does anyone know if there is a list with engine serial
numbers / years of built, that could possibly have this faulty crankshaft?
It would be great if I would not have to dig out the crankshaft to find
out whether it is ok or not, and don't have to worry about it at all.
Maybe there is such a list but the art of managing paperwork is not my
best developed area, so forgive me if I asked for the obvious.

Frans,
The EASA notification is misleading in that it only refers to certified engines because EASA only deal with certified aircraft. If you go to the Rotax website you can download the Rotax Alert Service Bulletin (Mandatory) that lists ALL the offending ENGINE numbers. Apparently only about 200 crankshafts were dodgy and they are all more recent, being numbers which start with 6.
Hope this helps.

ps I'm also going to try and attach a pdf of the bulletin. Never done this before so fingers crossed.

Whoops. My engine is uncomfortably close with 6772973, but still outside
the range!
Thanks for the document (and the others also thanks for the info)!
