I am confused by two different maintenance schedules I have found:
If I search for "rotax 582 mainenance schedule" on Google, this is the first listing, an "alternative" maintenance schedule for Rotax 2-strokes...

*600 Hour TBO for first overhaul, then 300 hours after that
*50 hour spark plug changes
*100 hour fuel filter changes
*no 50-hour inspections of piston rings and cylinder heads
*etc.
It certainly appears to be an official Rotax document, but if I actually visit any Rotax sites and search for documents and files, I can only find this one...

*300 Hour TBO
*25 hour spark plug changes
*50 hour fuel filter changes
*50 hour inspections of piston rings and cylinder heads
*etc.
Certainly, the "alternative" schedule is far more enticing. Which one should I use to be safe and legal as an ELSA in the USA?
