9-Series Engines Power Most LSAs On Market Today
Rotax aircraft engine expert Dean
Vogel, of Aero Technical Institute (ATI) will make a presentation
at the Light Sport forums from 1100 to 1200 on Tuesday, April 8 at
the 2008 Lakeland air show, in tent #11.
The forum tents are located inside the main entrance gate to the
left, or west (the LSA Mall is on the right or east) with one tent
devoted solely to topics relevant to light sport aircraft.
ATI is affiliated with Lockwood Aviation Supply, the number one
Rotax service center in North America. That proximity gives Vogel a
unique insight into the best ways to maintain and operate your
Rotax 9 series aircraft engine. His talk, titled "Rotax 912
Introduction to Service and Maintenance," will bring new
understanding to the current FAA requirements for performing
maintenance on Rotax-powered S-LSA.
"Dean's talk is the perfect introduction for A&P mechanics
being asked to perform maintenance on the enlarging U.S. fleet of
Light-Sport Aircraft," clarifies fellow Rotax expert Phil Lockwood,
President of Lockwood Aviation Supply.
After hearing Vogel's presentation, those who wish to go forward
with complete engine training can contact ATI regarding classes to
increase their ability to service Rotax engines. A set of
sixteen-hour courses is offered by ATI at the Sebring Airport.
Contact ATI at 863-655-7373 for more information on the upcoming
A&P courses.
The 9-series engines from Rotax power an overwhelming majority
of Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA). Since 1982, Rotax has delivered more
than 125,000 aircraft engines and annually produces more than
200,000 powerplants for a variety of vehicles, 70% of which are
four stroke engines.
