Due to a big demand this class is back. Prepare to learn and have fun doing it!
This is an improved service level class that will raise and improve the 100 hour and annual inspection understanding. It will guide people to perform at a higher level of education and knowledge base whether you are a private owner or a mechanic. After discussions and feedback with the students that have taken this enhanced Service class with mostly hands on instruction they feel like they are capable of performing at a higher level with inspections, performing simple service work and documenting in the logbook over some other service classes. This class will have a couple hours of classroom each day, but the majority of each day is all hands on work with a functioning Rotax 912ULS and a 912iS engine and targeting the 100 hour / annual inspection and general service work. We will perform an actual annual inspection on a functional aircraft and every student will be supplied with an inspection checklist. We will demonstrate and perform other service functions. While working you will be able to ask real time questions and take notes to help your understanding of the work when you return home. This will empower owners and mechanics to perform better 100 hour and annual inspections, better DOCUMENTATION, and service-based maintenance on the 912 engines. This class will expand on the already successful Rotax Service class by incorporating more hands on time, but more importantly it will expand on better logbook documentation and will focus on a more detailed and roper inspection process while performing service-level work on the 912 class engine and the 914 engine. This enhanced class will help reduce maintenance induced engine problems and simple time consuming inquiries to the Rotax distributors’ and owners’ maintenance based questions.
The new Expanded Inspection Service Class and associated demonstrations will include, but not be limited to:
Classroom instruction: 3 hours of classroom with engine part props

17. Oil pressure regulator installation. (plug screw, spring and mushroom)
18. 90 degree coolant elbow inspection for leaks and proper leak repair
