| Subject: | Re: RotaxEngines-Flying LSA into Canada |
My understanding about opperation of LSAs in Canadian airspace is that you must
have a private pilots license and a catagory three medical. Then you print off
the permission form just like an (Experimental)Amateur Built plane and carry
that with you.
Back when LSAs first came about, the powers that be at Transport Canada said they
were never going to allow pilots to fly without some kind of medical here in
Canada. The last time I heard them speak on the subject they said something
more like, "We're waiting to see how well it works in the US."
That being said, it will likely still be many years before anything happens with
allowing Sport Pilot licenses to fly in Canada with a dirver's license medical.
Tranpost Canada is running pretty lean these days and they have far bigger
fish to fry.

"You can fly into Canada with an LSA, too. It's not tied to plane so much as it
is your license."
Roger,
For an American pilot to fly into Canada (and land) s/he must have a Private or
higher pilot certificate with current FAA medical. His aircraft must have a 406Mhz
ELT and 12" high registration letters, and a FCC radio license. All ICAO
requirements.
Although Canada has a couple "less than private" pilot certificates (including
ultralight and advanced ultralight) none of them are equivalent to the USA Sport
Pilot Certificate (please don't call them LSA licenses). That is why they do
not yet recognize the Sport Pilot Certificate as valid for entry into Canada.
Also, the pilot must register with the eAPIS system (applies to both Canada
and Mexico) and provide details of who is crossing the border, which port of entry,
and when the flight is planned for. This must be done about two hours (I
think) of the actual border crossing.
I have no idea how well Mexico enforces their regulations but am certain that Transport
Canada does each and every time an aircraft crosses from the USA.
Bottom line, at least with Canada, is there is more to it than your description
makes it sound. It is not that big a deal as long as the US Pilot and his aircraft
qualify but there are rules that must be followed and Canada enforces them.
If you are flying through Canada airspace with no intention of landing, then the
same rules apply except for the port of entry thing. However, the pilot and
aircraft must be on a VFR or IFR flight plan when crossing the border and throughout
the flight while in Canadian airspace and be in radio contact with Transport
Canada.

Pete,
I agree with LS. Check that sender. Mine was bad and a new one gave me 10
lbs more oil pressure over the entire range. I checked the old one with my
air compressor gage(unscientific) but it too showed the sender was10 lbs off.
I have had no change in oil pressure since I started using Sport plus when
it first came out.Tis a great oil I believe.

I highly recommend this change for all 912 users.
Whether you qualify for the extra TBO on your engine or not this is a very
worth
while change. It takes all of ten minutes and parts are about $80. The parts
are the cap screw 841-983, spring 838-122 and oil pressure regulator cone
857-230.
The oil pressure regulator cone (or mushroom as some call it) replaces the
ball bearing. It not only raises the oil pressure, but makes it more stable.
Roger,
Do you have to purge if you open up this air hole ? I wouldn't think so
...but you are opening the system. I would think it would be like changing the
filter. I have been thinking of doing this on my old engine

I agree! My engine's TBO was raised by installing this kit, and even though it
would be several years before it mattered (because I'm no where near TBO time),
I decided to install the kit anyway, to get it over with. Yes, oil pressure
appears to be just a little higher, and the biggest benefit I've seen is that
it appears to be much more stable.
Heck, it took more time to remove the lower cowling to access this area, than it
took to install the kit. No purge needed.

Hi All,
Sorry, I need to eat my words on the Canada LSA license part. You are right about
the PPL requirement for the LSA to cross over for Canada, but the LSA plane
can with a pilot and his PPL. The Bahamas and Mexico still don't require a PPL
and an LSA license pilot with a third class medical can still fly in these two.

Hi Dick,
No oil purge necessary for just these parts. You will loose .5-1 oz. of oil. It
is a quick change. Just unscrew the old cap screw and have the new one in the
other hand. Some oil will drool out. Drop the old cap screw and spring on the
ground and the little ball bearing will come out on its own. Just make sure it
did fall out so watch for it. Then immediately put the new parts in place. The
new parts will stay together as a unit in the other hand. No need to try to
put them in separately. It just takes a few seconds to actually swap the parts
once the cap screw is loose. This is a worth while part change for all 912's
whether you get the extended TBO or not.
Bob's right, it takes longer to remove the cowl than swap the parts.
p.s.
Make sure you safety wire the cap screw when you are done.

I forgot to mention one thing in my original "I agree" post... it occurs to me
that Rotax probably doesn't just "re-design" a part (like the oil regulator assembly)
for no reason. They must have discovered that this new regulator assembly
is superior to the old one. So, just for that reason alone, I believe its
worthwhile to make the change even if you don't care about the TBO increase benefit.

Hi Bob,
Yes they are applicable for the 914. Some of the newer 914's can get an increase
in the TBO just like the 912's if they meet the requirements of the 914 SB service
bulletin. Some with older engines will not, but will benefit with the new
oil pressure parts. Knowing what I know I would change the parts for my engine
even if it did not qualify.

Bob, Keep in mind that Rotax builds engines for many different applications
besides aircraft. It's just as likely that the "improvement" was to reduce
the inventory count among several engine lines by having a common oil
pressure relief valve piston. Wouldn't it be interesting if this same part
set could be had from your local Harley Davidson / Buell dealer for $20.

Roger, You do not need a PPL or higher to fly in Canada for US guys. You need
a Avaition medical which I suppose that you could get with a LSA ticket. But
that is why is was created so that people can fly before they become unfit in
the case that they do.
I cannot see Canada backing off as if they did then they would have to reduce the
requirements for us.

I am installing as VDO remoted oil pressure sender in a 912ULS and
wonder if air in the line from the engine over to the firewall-mounted
VDO sender is going to be a problem. I suppose I could try to somehow
fill that line with oil, but even then inevitably there would be some
air. Is this a problem?

John, If you can reach the sender easily after it is mounted on the
firewall, just leave the line fitting at the sender a turn or so loose and
turn the engine over a few times by hand to bleed the air out of the line
and then finish tighten the fitting. I've never done it on a Rotax, but the
technique works on the remote pressure gauge on my Harley engine.

Hi John,
Before you actually finish the job and mount the sender on the firewall, just hold
the line up at least to the gearbox level and pour a little oil down the line
to fill it. Then screw the sender on the fitting. The very small amount of
air, if any, in the line won't make any difference. I have done several of these
and have never had an issue this way and you will sleep a little better that
night too. [Wink]

Hi Paul,
That shim is not a stock installed factory part. It is only there if you need to
raise the oil pressure because of a weak spring. It raises it about 7-9 psi.
It will not be in your engine unless you put it there. And never put a shim in
there without first using a mechanical gauge to double check the pressure against
what you think is a low pressure from the gauge in the cockpit. You could
easily go above max oil pressure and the gauge in the cockpit would be lying
to you. It is better to have quantity than just pressure for our engine so long
as it is within parameters.
