Rotax 912 engine preservation
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
11 years ago
Hi,
in our company one aircraft with the Rotax 912 engine was out of service for four months without engine preservation done. What action or/and checks must be done before returning it back to operation?
In the operations and maintenance manuals of the Rotax engines there are only preservation and engine back to operation after engine preservation procedures. However, nothing about storage without preservation.
in the section 8.1 of the operation manual there is mentioned "Due to the special material of the cylinder wall, there is no need for extra protection against corrosion for the ROTAX aircraft engines. At extreme climatic conditions and for long out of service periods we recommends the following to protect the valve guides against corrosion". Maybe someone knows that it means "long out of service" and "extreme climatic conditions".
