Anyone have  information associated with a proposed FAA AD related to Bombardier-Rotax GmbH 912 A, 912 F, and 912 S series engines? According to the AOPA, the proposed AD concerns cracking of the engine case.  I assume that the non-certified 912 UL & 912 S should be suspected as well. However, does anyone know what serial numbers are involved?

This AD concerns a four year old Service Bulletin that the FAA is finally

getting around to. Yes it includes the S/ULS.



To check the serials, get the SB yourself from rotax-owner.com, etc



It is SB-912-029



In the US, ADs do not formally apply to experimental AC.

Choosing to ignore them however is a good test of wisdom and judgment.

AD's and do they apply or not....

1 - Does the engine have the data plate on it?

Then it is a production engine and AD's apply.

2 - Is the engine is being used on a Production GA aircraft?

Then the AD's apply.

3 - Is the engine being used on an EXPERIMENTAL aircraft and the

engine data plate is on the engine.

Then the AD's apply.

4 - Do you plan on using the manufactures warranty?

Then the AD's apply.

5 - Do you want to NOT adhere to AD's?

Then REMOVE the data plate, if you have an EXPERIMENTAL plane..



Granted some AD's are a bunch of donkey-dust AND designed to make

money.  But you decide.
