DIY Servicing (UK)

by Phil in General Tech Discussion one hour ago

How common is it for UK owners of 9 series engines to perform their own services?

I am about to buy my first aircraft with a 912ULS and wanted to know if it was 'normal' to do your own servicing and whether people have run into issues come inspection time? Would I be better off budgeting for a professional to service the engine or save the money and do it myself?

Any thoughts or experience welcome.

Thanks

I’m not in the UK, but if you don’t regularly work on your own cars, do oil changes, change plugs, …mechanic type stuff, I’d advise you hire someone.

Just asking these questions kinda tells me you should hire someone. 🤷‍♂️

I can and have done significant car maintenance but tend to think an amateur error on a car has less fatal consequences than those on a plane 🙂

This is the aspect I'm interested in - do people 'have a go' or prefer not to risk it and leave it to Rotax trained technicians?
