Service and Maintenance

Your new Aeroprakt aircraft will be delivered to you with a comprehensive Maintenance manual which details all service intervals and describes service requirements. The Rotax engine has its own detailed manual, including log Books, a CD-ROM maintenance manual as well as a separate propeller manual

Pre-flight inspections are the benchmark of any good aviators preparation. Correct maintenance starts with effective pre-flight checks, backed by regular and scheduled maintenance. Your Foxbat is powered by a liquid Cooled Rotax 912 series engine. It is always wise to ensure all hoses and Connections are secure before flight with no leaks.

As with a pre-flight, a post flight inspection should become habit. At the end of your flying day it is a good time to inspect the engine while it is still hot for any signs of impending problems.

SERVICE INSPETION INTERVALS

Your new Aeroprakt aircraft and Rotax engine must have a mandatory service at 25 hours, this includes oil and oil filter change. The next service will be due at 50 hours and 100 hours.
Rotax engine spares and parts are best secured directly through Rotax South Africa. Although we at Foxbat SA keep a small stock of the more common wear items, the turn around time on most orders for specific parts is ten days.

General maintenance

The Rotax 912 series engine has an enviable reputation for safety and reliability. Although hundreds of thousands of hours are safely flown globally there is no compromise when it comes to maintenance and reliability must never be taken for granted in aviation. By registering your Rotax engine serial number with the Rotax owner website http://rotax-owner.com/en/component/……??? you will automatically
receive any service bulletins that effect your engine via email.

Apart from the mandatory pre and post flight checks and regular maintenance there are a few other steps that you should incorporate into your routine, which all help to keep your engine operating as reliably as possible:

• Follow and stick to the engine operating manual
• Always warm the oil to 30c prior to taxi
• Warm the oil to 50c before any engine run up
• During long descents at continued idle, warm the engine every 1000 ft

Or every minute with at least 30 seconds of power.

• In any conditions, if the oil temp will can not remain in the yellow arc

Consider fitting an oil thermostat.

• If the variation in coolant temperature is erratic, consider using a

Waterless coolant. (NOT for use in newer 912/912IS)

• Clean and change the spark plugs regularly as per the Rotax manual
• Keep the carburetors dynamically balanced, check every 200 hours
• Try to maintain 4800 to 5000 Rpm in the cruise since Rotax engines

Operate best in this range.

Aeroprakt aircraft are produced with three different types of propellers:

• KievProp: composite with brass leading edge inserts
• WarpDrive: carbon fiber with nickel leading edge additions (Taper

Or broad blade edition)

• Bolly: carbon fiber with Kevlar leading edge inserts.

Looking after your propeller, a few tips.

• Ensure all three blades are pitched exactly the same. The slightest

Variation will cause vibration which will eventually damage the Exhaust Systems and gearbox.

• Smooth over and repair any stone induced damage to the blades

Or replace a blade if the damage is on limits

• On loose gravel and dirt strips apply power slowly while lifting the

Nose as soon as possible. This will minimize stone damage.

• Frequently flying in rain will erode the blades inner edges and backs

Rapidly.

• Keep your propeller clean.
