Ignition Circuit Failure
The Rotax engine requires a short circuit on the ignition circuit to stop the engine. If the ignition circuit is
broken using full choke to flood the engine should stop the engine.
It is possible to starve the engine by switching the fuel tap off. This method is not as quick as using the
chokes.
Do not restart the engine until the fault has been fixed.
3.3.11
Spins and Spiral Descents
Deliberate spinning is prohibited.
A spiral dive may develop after a stall if the bar is
maintained at the forward limit and a large roll rate
is allowed to develop. If this condition is not
corrected it will lead to large and increasing roll
attitudes (beyond the 60 degree limit). Increasing
attitude, increasing speeds and large control bar
feed back forces will occur. Incipient spiral dives
can be terminated at any time by rolling wings level.
If the spiral dive is allowed to develop to extreme
roll attitudes, recovery is expedited by relieving
control bar forces before rolling wings level and
recovering from high-speed condition.
3.3.12
Unusual Attitudes
Unusual attitudes where the nose is raised or lowered more than 45 degrees from the horizontal are to
be avoided. On recognising a situation where the aircraft is approaching these pitch angles proceed as
outlined below.
3.3.12.1
Nose High Attitude
To recover from the situation where the nose of the aircraft is pitched up more than 45 degrees from the
horizontal proceed as follows:
