Roger,
That is an interesting development. As an FAA certificated Powerplant Mechanic
I can do ANY maintenance and repair on a Type Certificated Rotax Engine installed
in a Diamond Katana, a Part 23 certificated aircraft.
It appears to me that Rotax is getting the big head and in time it could back-fire
on them. Now that some lower-cost SLSAs are installing Jabiru engines Rotax's
share in this market could begin to decline. I really like the Rotax 912 series
engines but if I were in the market for a new SLSA I'd be inclined toward
a Jabiru powered one, with the maintenance issues and costs being a primary
motivator.

Hi Thom,
Much of this is being generated or pushed by the FAA from a survey and was not
Rotax's doing. Rotax is now on-board and do want to have better quality control
since the ultralights have worked themselves up to open a new LSA category.
I don't believe from what I know about Jabiru that they have the facilities or
money to ever keep up with Rotax. SLSA is just starting to fall more in-line
with maint requirements of type certificated aircraft. Look at what you personally
went through (school and experience) to get your license for all that you
can do now. SLSA engines are different than a Cont or Lycoming's and they are
just trying to make sure that all the mechanics no matter who they are, are educated
as to the differences. I agree it will take so more time and effort by
everyone. The initial cost of a Jabiru right now is about $6K-$8K cheaper right
now, but I don't care for the engine as much.
In your Rotax type certificated 912S. Does it say in the authorization section
that you had to go to Rotax school?

Roger,
The Katana that I've done work on has a Rotax 912F engine and the Diamond documentation
says nothing about special training required to do work on this Rotax
engine.

Hi Thom,
Does the Katana manual say to follow the Rotax manual for engine inspections or
maint.? If it does then section 2 in the Rotax manual says who is qualified to
do the work.

I don't recall. I don't have the maintenance manual in my possession at the moment.
