Unusual drop in speed Rotax 912 100 hp
Dear guys, hope somebody has an idea what might be the problem with my Rotax 912 / 100 hp:
Last weekend I flew ~ 5h with my Tecnam P92 Echo S equipped with Rotax 912 / 100 hp (~1.200 h operating hours) without any problems. Suddenly I recognized a drop in speed of about 200 rpm for about ~2-3 seconds. I could feel the drop in speed and see it on the tachometer. This behaviour continuously recurs within every ~ 60 seconds. Always for ~2-3 seconds. Next day I checked the engine but founded nothing unusual. The first hour of my flight was okay. But then I had the same strange behaviour. I rather think it is an electronically problem than a fuel or carburettor problem. I think so because of the constancy of the drop of speed about 200 rpm for 1-2 seconds all 60 seconds. I didn't had the confidence (I was too shy) to switch off one of the ignition circuit to check whether the problem is the other ignition circuit. Almost as expected I couldn't repeat the problem on ground later. It looks like I have the problem only after a while (~ 1 hour) of flying. Any ideas? BTW: I am German, so sorry for my English. If something is unclear or unprecise described please let me know. Thank you for your support! Michael
