Mine doesn't qualify because it's affected by SB-912-029 which knocks it out of the extension. the Scrooges at Rotax! But seriously, this is a great development for the 912. Along with the hours extension the time limit is extended to 15 years. The 912 is once again a good deal even at the 20K price point. The longevity matches the overall cost now.

Manual From: "Roger Lee" New Rotax Line maint. manual Here is the link to the new Rotax Line Maint. manual. You need this for the simple things and for the inspection check list. They did not just add a few pages. There are some significant changes. You should print this and keep it or give it to the next A&P to look at before your inspection. He should use the inspection list in the manual. Have him print it, use it, sign it and give it back to you. You should do the same thing for your airframe inspection form. You should make yourself a binder and keep these inspection forms. They are documentation that the right things were done. The new manual also states that the inspection check list must be kept for records. I'm sure they wanted this to make sure you are good to go for that new 2000 TBO. The 25 hr. is required to be airworthy and keep your warranty.(still) I still like to old check list because it is more detailed and thorough. After I have a nice evening reading this manual, I'll see if I can't comment on some of the bigger changes. Looks like the gearbox inspection went from 800 hrs. to 1000 hrs.?? Oil changes are now in writing for 50 hours. I think the one bad thing they did was put in 100 hr. plug change, 75 hr. is far better. I have seen plugs not doing very well at 100 hrs. and especially with 100LL. Rotax school used to teach 75 hr. Rotax used to print 100 hr plug changes many years ago, but people got away from that. They changed the new gap settings too, .023 - .027. All discrepancies are supposed to now be recorded and kept with the maint inspection info. Those of you that have been coming to me for your maint. the last few years, aren't you glad I gave those discrepancy reports, Rotax check list and airframe check list and made you keep it. Start making those inspectors whomever they may be do a good job of documentation. http://www.rotax-owner.com/manualsintro.htm Have a nice Christmas to all! -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
