74. IGNITION
74.00.00 General
The power supply of the engine after starting is self sufficient within the engine. No external power
supply is required for the engine to operate. The engine generates excess power with the integrated
generator, which powers systems, which are external to the engine. The Rotax maintenance manual
should be consulted for the maintenance of the engines electrical system. (Section 12.60.00 of the
maintenance manual)
74.30.00 Switching
Main Switch
The main switch of the aircraft is located on the front instrument panel, this is used to start the engine,
but not to turn it off. There are two wires, which make a double system, that are used to earth the
engine stop circuit from the engine. The engines ignition power supply is cut off, stopping the engine.
