SUPPLEMENT 04/2012 – AIRPLANES FITTED WITH A ROTAX 912 iS ENGINE
This supplement must be contained in the Pilot Operating Handbook during
operation of the airplane.
Information contained in this Supplement adds to or replaces information
from the standard Pilot Operating Handbook in regard only to the specific
sections addressed herein. Limitations, procedures and information not
addressed in this Supplement remain as set out in the Pilots Operating
Handbook.
This Supplement provides information relating to the operation of an
aircraft fitted with a Rotax 912 iS engine.
The Rotax 912iS comprises a fuel injected and electronically controlled
variant of the Rotax 912 ULS engine. It has the same power rating as the
Rotax 912 ULS engine and airplane performance with the two engines is
accordingly materially similar, save for fuel economy which, particularly in
the cruise, may be materially better in the case of the 912 iS engine.
Notwithstanding this, however, there are minor differences between the
engines at starting and shutdown and in the case of certain engine related
emergency procedures. The instructions in this supplement are the
minimum required for the pilot to competently operate the 912 iS engine
during normal flight conditions. It is the responsibility of the pilot to fully
familiarize himself with the engine Operators Manual supplied by Rotax
GmbH, a copy of which is supplied with each aircraft.
