Winter operation
The cooling system for the cylinder heads of the engine is filled with a mixture of anti-freeze and
water, which gives freezing protection down to -20°C. Check protection temperature of the coolant and
add anti-freeze, if necessary.
If temperatures are expected to fall below protection temperature, drain the coolant, and if required for
service, refill with pure antifreeze. As anti-freeze ages, renew the coolant every five years. Read the
engine manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations.
During winter operations the necessary operating temperature for oil and cooling agent may not be
reached. This can be compensated by taping some portion of the coolers. Monitor all engine
temperatures closely after having the coolers taped and modify, if necessary.
When using heated clothing be aware of the electrical power demand in regard to the generator
performance. Do not exceed the generator output value in order not to drain the battery. A loss of
electric power affects avionics and radio communication and can lead to an engine failure in case of
ROTAX 914 engine (depending on configuration).
Before each flight inspect all control cables for free and easy movement and sufficient lubrication.
