Discovered via word of mouth that there is a Rotax service center in North Carolina.

SouthTec Aviation services Rotax Engines and is also a Tecnam Service Center.  Seems strange that there is no listing of them on this site or on Rotax.com.

Here is their info:

    Hi Gene
     
    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. South Tech Aviation is not an "Official Certified Service Center" for Rotax as they claim on their website; however, we will look into it.

    Is there another classification they should be under?  They seem very knowledgeable and stock lots of ROTAX spares.  Even if they are are not "official" they kept me from having to fly 300 miles to get my plane fixed.

    Essentially, within the Rotax network, there are several official classifications:

    • "Trained Persons" (iRMT)
    • Recognized "Flight Schools" (Rotax-powered aircraft)
    • Designated "Rotax Repair Centers"
    • Designated "Rotax Service Centers"
    • "Rotax Authorized Distributors"

    Currently, South Tech is not listed under any of these classifications. However, this does not mean they cannot or should not be included. We also believe it would be beneficial to establish an official Rotax representation in NC to potentially save you and others from having to travel long distances to get your plane fixed. They could potentially qualify as a Rotax "Repair Center" or at least be recognized as Trained persons (iRMT), although this decision is not ours to make.

    With that said, there are several Trained Persons (iRMT) listed in NC. You can find them listed here: Rotax iRMT Locator

    We have forwarded this information to the appropriate department responsible for US Rotax Service and Repair Stations for their consideration.
