  • Maiden flight was a success!
  • Development process of Rotax 915 iS aircraft engine on schedule.
  • More than 40 OEMs confirmed the Design-In of the Rotax 915 iS aircraft engine.                    

 In our technical articles library and a recent video, we have examined the process of connecting a notebook computer to the 914 Turbocharger Control Unit so that you may calibrate or monitor it using the appropriate TLR software packages.

Previously, all of these packages would only run on a 32-bit version of Windows. But now, the TLR 4.6 can be run under 64-bit Windows as well.

A new radiator was introduced for the 912i, 912, and 914 series engines. This new radiator (part number 997083) replaces both the standard and the HD radiators (part numbers 995698 and 997082 respectively).

ROTAX 912: Chasing the perfect idle RPM

Written by

Chasing The Perfect Idle RPM

The highs and lows.

  Is there a perfect idle rpm for the 912 series engine? This has been a widely discussed and at times a hotly debated item on many forums. The simple answer is NO. Set the idle where you want and/or need it, but do it for the right reason. This answer may surprise you, but it shouldn’t and I’ll address this later in the article.

BRP introduces a more powerful 135-hp Rotax aircraft engine at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin – the Rotax 915 iS.

 In our technical articles library and a recent video, we have examined the process of connecting a notebook computer to the 914 Turbocharger Control Unit so that you may calibrate or monitor it using the appropriate TLR software packages. This is not a difficult task, and connection is generally painless when using a computer that is equipped with a "standard" DB9 RS-232 serial port.

912iS Sport: 2015 bonus offer!

Written by
To celebrate 40 years of Rotax aircraft engines, ROTAX is offering a free year of the Rotax Extended Service Terms (R.E.S.T.) program for all 912iS Sport and 912iSc Sport purchases until the end of 2015.

Gunskirchen, Austria, April 14, 2015 – BRP launches a contest to find the oldest active certified Rotax aircraft engine in operation to celebrate 40 years of Rotax aircraft engines. “We are proud of 40 successful years of Rotax aircraft engines, which lead the ultra-light and light sport aircraft market worldwide. Our customers are brand ambassadors and an important part of our success story,” said Thomas Uhr, vice-president BRP-Powertrain and general manager BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG.

Shell Aviation has introduced the new AeroShell Oil Sport Plus 4, the second generation of its piston engine oil, specifically designed for light sport and very light/ultralight aircraft 4-stroke engines. Shell Aviation has collaborated with major engine manufacturer, BRP-Rotax, in designing the new product, which is the result of three years of development and testing in both companies’ Research and Development facilities.

 Here are some examples of how to properly record the recent "Float Buoyancy Test" and "Float Exchange" service bulletins in your ROTAX engine log book.

Many people have been asking, “How do I get my new upgraded carb floats?”. That’s a good question so we’ll try to clarify the correct steps in the following:
