Phil Perry Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Rotax alert THE CAA has released an Emergency Mandatory Permit Directive (eMPD) relating to some Rotax 912UL, 912ULS and 914UL engines. The directive mandates a cylinder head inspection for certain serial numbers for a manufacturing defect that can lead to catastrophic failure of the engine. A Rotax Alert Service Bulletin mandates that the inspection be conducted before the next flight. Hi Guys. . . This information is BOUND to be available in Australia too, but if you have not seen it, Links are available to the MPD on the latest BMAA E news .

Gentreau Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Is this the one that requires a sparkplug inspection for oil ingress ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Is this the one that requires a sparkplug inspection for oil ingress ? No Clive, This is related to manufacturing defects in the cylinder heads on some of the 912 and 914 engines, and the alert is issued for a Mandatory Permit directive for inspection.

Gentreau Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Phil the latest ASB on Rotax-owner.com is this one: http://legacy.rotax-owner.com/si_tb_info/alertbulletins/asb-912-062-ul.pdf While the fault is with the cylinder heads, the mandatory inspection is of the spark plugs.

OK Clive, I just sent this out, as I didn't see any references to it on any of the forums, and I thought it said something about a manufacturing fault in some cylinder heads. . . . . . My 2 aircraft don't use the four stroke Rotax units, one has a continental, and the other ( microlight) has a 2 stroke 503. . . . .) Just trying to be helpful. . . .

Yenn Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Go to CASA website and you will be able to arrange for all AD's to be sent to you. I get them and am lucky I don't own a chopper as most of them apply to fling wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
