Just released by CASA...I am sure we will be notified in due course:

 

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has published the following urgent Airworthiness Directive:

 

Rotax Piston Engines

 

EASA AD 2011-0222-E - Engine - Crankshaft - Inspection

 

This, and other Airworthiness Directives can be viewed at:

I get an email straight from Rotax, I received this one this morning.

Ditto.

Unhelpfully, the CASA directive does not actually mention the Rotax SB number, which you would actually need to access their document and perform the inspection / replacement.

 

Fortunately mine is not an affected serial number :-)

I'll give you one guess Ozzie... If it is out of warranty...

The urgency on this is quite tight being 4 hrs or 30 days of the lesser ... it feels like there is potential for a significant cost impost to owners as well as lost revenue to schools, I do hope Rotax will address this.
