Gentlemen-
I have a question maybe someone can answer.
I have a certified Rotax 912S on an S-LSA.
Needless to say it's overkill. I'd never fly in IMC conditions nor do I plan to get IFR certified.
However, it costs me 30% more to get certified parts for it and the TBO is 1500hrs instead of the 2000hrs (912ULS), not to mention waiting for an A&P instead of an LSRMA who is readily available.
So my question is...how can I "de-certify" my engine and fly it as a 912ULS instead of a certified 912S engine.
Do I need permission from the manufacturer or distributor or is there any other process to do this.
Kind regards,
Mat
