Torque 912 ULS

Hi All

There may be some misunderstanding on how the manuals and training (iRMT) programs match these.  The best is to review the Service Letter released by Rotax a number of years ago.  Your distributor within your region should offer training that matches the intended learning outcomes, ILO, for each program.  

The manuals are split to support the type of job or work you are doing.  There is a seperate SL on how these are divided for content.  

Take  few minutes to read over the SL on the ILOs for the Rotax core training.  There are obviously other specialty training programs available, these include injection engine installation training and soon to be released Log file diagnostic training to name a few.  

Cheers

Hi RW,

I’m well aware of and have no problem with the reasoning behind the changes in the documentation. The benefits are self-evident, despite any small inconveniences. I could have answered the original post simply with the requested torque value, but since I’m not an expert I stated exactly where I got the torque value from, to allow others to judge whether the information was trustworthy.

“In the general section of the MMH is the secteion showing standard torque valve for the metric fasteners.”
A search of Edition 2 of the 912/914 MMH for the word "torque" shows 149 matches, including 15 in Chapter 00-00-00. None of these 149 instances are in connection with a list of standard torques. Do you have a page reference for such a list in the current manual?

“Your distributor within your region should offer training that matches the intended learning outcomes, ILO, for each program.”
As you may be aware, this touches on somewhat of a sore point for those of us down our end of the world. Flood’s may well offer training to those who phone during business hours and specifically ask for it, but that’s not much help if you’re in a full time job where personal phone use is frowned upon. (The email address on the Rotax site’s dealer page is out of date and is no longer active. Have a guess how I found that out. Yes, I’ve reported it. It’s still out of date four months later.)
I’d planned to ask Flood’s about training at Avalon last year, but they weren’t there. The ASRA tent (where Flood’s always used to be) were hosting some three-cylinder radial engine in a Kombi instead. (I’d planned to ask at Avalon 2021 as well, but you can guess how that turned out...)
As a ‘weekend warrior’ with an unrelated full-time job who is only maintaining their own aircraft, the hassle of discovering information about training, not to mention organising leave, obtaining accommodation near Lilydale and attending the actual classes is a fairly high hurdle. This coupled with the relatively high quality of Rotax’s documentation and the lack of any legal requirement for factory training adds up to a recipe for procrastination.

All of this is beside the point of the original post in this topic which was simply asking about using a bolt on the gearbox as a means to temporarily mount an accelerometer.
