1.1) General
Purpose The purpose of this Operators Manual is to familiarize the air-
craft manufacturers installing this aircraft engine with operating
instructions and safety information.
This document is not intended for use by end customers (pri-
vate aircraft owners, flight schools...) for operating the engine.
Due to various executions of engine installations, only the air-
craft manufacturer is able to provide end customers with opera-
tion and safety information tailored for a specific aircraft.
Nevertheless, all provided information in this Operators Manual
(such as operating limits, safety information, operation instruc-
tions...) must be adhered to. The aircraft manufacturer is ob-
liged to forward this information to the end customer in an
appropriate way (e.g. within the aircraft specific Operators
Manual).
For detailed information related to aircraft and aircraft/engine in-
stallation, maintenance, safety or flight operation, consult the
documentation provided by the aircraft manufacturer and/or its
dealer.
For additional information on engines, their maintenance or
parts, you can also contact your nearest ROTAX® authorized
aircraft engines distributor or their independent Service Center.
Engine serial When making inquiries or ordering parts, always indicate the
number engine serial number. Due to continuous product improvement,
engines of the same engine type might require different support
and spare parts.
The engine serial number is located on top of the crankcase,
behind the propeller gearbox.

Non-compliance can result in serious injuries or death!

Never fly the aircraft equipped with this engine at locations, air
speeds, altitudes or in other situations which do not allow a success-
ful no-power landing after sudden engine stoppage.
• This engine is not suitable for acrobatics (inverted flight,

etc.). Flight attitudes outside the permissible limits are not
allowed.
• This engine has exclusively been developed and tested for
gyrocopter, pusher and tractor applications. In case of any
other usage, the OEM is responsible for testing and the cor-
rect function of the engine.
• It should be clearly understood that the choice, selection and
use of this particular engine on any aircraft is at the sole dis-
cretion and responsibility of the aircraft manufacturer, assem-
bler and owner/user.
• Due to the varying designs, equipment and types of aircraft,

• Certain areas, altitudes and conditions present greater risk

than others. The engine may require humidity or dust/sand
preventative equipment, or additional maintenance may be
required.
• You should be aware that any engine may seize or stall at
any time. This could lead to a crash landing and possible se-
vere injury or death. For this reason, we recommend strict
compliance with the maintenance and operation and any ad-
ditional information which may be given to you by your
dealer.

Rev. 1 June 01 2019
Training • Whether you are a qualified pilot or a novice, complete knowl-
edge of the aircraft, its controls and operation is mandatory
before a solo flight. Flying any type of aircraft involves a cer-
tain amount of risk. Be informed and prepared for any situa-
tion or hazard associated with flying.
• A recognized training program and continued education for
piloting an aircraft is absolutely necessary for all aircraft pi-
lots. Make sure you also obtain as much information as possi-
ble about your aircraft, its maintenance and operation from
your dealer.
• Engine-specific training courses are provided by the author-
ized distributors according to manufacturer specifications
(iRMT).
Regulations • Respect all legal requirements or local rules pertaining to
flight operation in your flying area. Only fly when and where
conditions, topography, and airspeeds are safest.
• Consult your aircraft dealer or manufacturer and obtain the
necessary information, especially before flying in new areas.
Instrumentation • Select and use proper aircraft instrumentation. This instru-
mentation is not included in the ROTAX® engine package.
Verification to the latest regulations such as FAR or EASA
has to be conducted by the aircraft manufacturer.
Engine log book • Keep an engine log book and respect engine and aircraft
maintenance schedules. Keep the engine in top operating
condition at all times. Do not operate any aircraft which is not
properly maintained or has engine operating irregularities
which have not been corrected.
Maintenance • Since special training, tools and equipment are required, en-
(iRMT) gine servicing shall only be performed by an authorized
ROTAX® aircraft engine distributor or their independent serv-
ice center. BRP-Rotax requires that any service or mainte-
nance work be carried out and verified by a technician that
has a current iRMT rating.
• When the engine will not be operated for a longer period pro-
tect the engine and fuel system from contamination and envi-
ronmental exposure.
Engine operation • Never operate the engine without sufficient quantities of oper-
ating fluids (oil, coolant, fuel).
• Never exceed the maximum permitted operational limits.
• In the interest of safety, the aircraft must not be left unat-
tended while the engine is running.

June 01 2019 Rev. 1
• To eliminate the risk of injury or damage, ensure any loose
equipment or tools are properly secured before starting the
engine.
• Allow the engine to cool at idle for several minutes before
turning off the engine.
Vacuum pump • This engine may be equipped with a vacuum pump. The
safety warning accompanying the vacuum pump must be giv-
en to the owner/operator of the aircraft into which the vacuum

2.4) Operating media-Lubricants
ATTENTION
Obey the manufacturer’s instructions about the lubricants.

If the engine is mainly run on AVGAS more frequent oil changes will
be required. See Service Information SI-912 i–001, latest edition.
Oil type
At the selection of suitable lubricants refer to the additional

information in the Service Information SI-912 i-001, latest
edition.
Oil consumption Max. 0.06 l/h (0.13 liq pt/h)

Oil specification • Use only oil with RON 424 classification
NOTE
The ROTAX® Norm 424 (RON 424) is a BRP-Rotax internal
standard, which is only available on special request via the
ROTAX® authorized distributor and will not be disclosed to third
parties without prior consent.
• Due to the high stresses in the reduction gears, oils with gear
additives such as high performance motor cycle oils are
required.
• Because of the incorporated overload clutch, oils with friction
modifier additives are unsuitable as this could result in clutch
slippage during normal operation.
• Heavy duty 4-stroke motor cycle oils meet most of the re-
quirements. These oils are normally not mineral oils but semi-
or full synthetic oils.
• Conventional aircraft oils (a.d.=ashless dispersant) are not
suitable. Oils with ashless dispersant do not have suitable
cleaning agents for modern designs such as the ROTAX®
912 i Series.
• Oils primarily for Diesel engines have insufficient high tem-
perature properties and additives which favour clutch
slipping, and are generally unsuitable.
Oil viscosity Use of multi-grade oils is recommended.

Rev. 1 June 01 2019
NOTE
Multi-viscosity grade oils are less sensitive to temperature var-
iations than single grade oils.
They are suitable for use throughout the seasons, ensure rapid
lubrication of all engine components at cold start and get less
fluid at higher temperatures.
Table of Since the temperature range of neighboring SAE grades over-
lubrication lap, there is no need for change of oil viscosity at short duration
of ambient temperature fluctuations.

3.1) Daily checks
Safety To warrant reliability and efficiency of the engine, meet and
carefully observe all the operating and maintenance
instructions.
m WARNING
Risk of burnings and scalds! Hot engine parts!

Conduct checks on the cold engine only!
m WARNING

When performing checks which do not require ignition make sure
that the ECU is turned off and the aircraft is secured to prevent un-
wanted engine starts.
ATTENTION
If established abnormalities (e.g. excessive resistance of the

engine, noise etc.) inspection in accordance with the relevant
Maintenance Manual is necessary. Do not release the engine in-
to service before rectification.
Coolant level
ATTENTION
Operating media must be observed.

Inappropriate coolant quantity can lead to serious engine damage.
The specifications given in Chapter 2.2 must be adhered to

when refilling coolant.
Step Procedure
1 Verify coolant level in the expansion tank, replenish as

required up to top. The max. coolant level must be flush
with the bottom of the filler neck.
2 Verify coolant level in the overflow bottle, replenish as
required. The coolant level must be between max. and
min. mark.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
Protect the environment!

Operating media
Step Procedure
1 Check for any oil-, coolant- and fuel leaks. If leaks are
evident, rectify and repair them before next flight.
Oil level
ATTENTION
Operating media must be observed.

Inappropriate oil quantity can lead to serious engine damage.
The specifications given in Chapter 2.4 must be adhered to

when refilling oil.
Step Procedure
1
NOTE
Propeller shouldn't be turned in reverse of the nor-
mal direction of engine rotation.
Remove bayonet cap from the oil tank, turn the propeller
slowly by hand in direction of engine rotation several
times to pump oil from the engine into the oil tank.
2 It is essential to build up compression in the combustion

chamber. Maintain the pressure for a few seconds to let
the gas flow via the piston rings into the crankcase. The
speed of rotation is not important but rather the

Step Procedure
continuous pressure and the amount of gas which is
transferred into the crankcase.
3 This process is finished when air is returning back to the
oil tank and can be noticed by an audible gurgle from
the open oil tank.
4 Check oil level and add oil if necessary.

The oil level should be in the upper half (between the
“50%“ and the “max“ mark) and should not fall below the
“min.“ mark of the oil dipstick. Prior to long flights oil
should be added so that the oil level reaches the “max“
mark.
Avoid oil levels exceeding the “max“ mark, since excess
oil could be poured out through the venting system.
Difference between max.- and min.- mark = 0.45 litre
(0.95 liq pt). Oil consumption max 0.06 l/h (0.13 liq pt/h).
5 Re-install bayonet cap.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
Protect the environment.

Do not harm the environment by spilling oil. Dispose of oil in an envi-
ronmentally friendly manner.

Engine start Good engine start behavior will be achieved when setting the
performance throttle at 50% (± 5%) during engine start. In the aircraft this
number approximately corresponds to a throttle lever travel of
1-2 cm.
NOTE
These numbers depend strongly on the design and the actua-
tion mechanism of the throttle leverage and will vary from air-
craft to aircraft.
ATTENTION
Throttle must be reduced as required right after the engine start to

avoid unnecessary high engine rpm, while the engine is still cold.

and Ignition check, some sensor values are not displayed, de-
pending on the activation of the Lanes.
Not available sensor values if Lane A = OFF
and Lane B = ON:
• Coolant temperature
• Exhaust gas temperatures from cyl. 1-4
• Ambient temperature
• Throttle lever position
Not available sensor values if Lane B = OFF and
Lane A = ON:
• Oil temperature
• Oil pressure
Check of fuel Verify that both fuel pumps are working and no loss of power or
pumps irregular running by deactivation of one fuel pump occurs. The
limits for fuel pressure must not be exceeded.

3 Check fuel pressure, then activate auxiliary fuel pump.
4 Deactivate main fuel pump for 5 seconds.
5 Check fuel pressure, then activate main fuel pump.
ATTENTION
If the fuel pressure is not within the limits, the cause must be deter-
mined. The engine must not be put into service until the problem is
rectified.
Check the power To check the acceleration and available power, run the engine
output at full load with the aircraft stationary for a maximum of 10 sec-
onds (refer to the Operators Manual of the aircraft for speed in-
formation, as it depends on the type of propeller being used).

as per Chapter: Operating limits.
2 Carry out performance checks in accordance with the

aircraft manufacturer regulations.
Propeller Check control of the hydraulic propeller governor according to

governor specifications of the manufacturer.
Step Procedure
1 Check governor control range (engine speed at 4300

rpm, approx. 1700 rpm propeller)
NOTE
Cycling the propeller governor puts a relatively high load on the
engine. Unnecessary cycling should be avoided.

June 01 2019 Rev. 1
3.7) Take-off
m WARNING

Monitor Operating limits. Limits must not be exceeded.
Monitor oil temperature, oil pressure (LANE select switch B

has to be activated) and coolant temperature (LANE select
switch A has to be activated). See Chapter 2.1 Operating
limits
Climb Climbing with engine running at take-off performance is permis-
sible (max. 5 minutes).
See Chapter 2.1 Operating limits
3.8) Cruising
Oil temperature
Step Procedure
1 Avoid operation below normal oil temperature (90 to 110

°C / 194 to 230 °F), as possible formation of condensa-
tion water in the lubrication system badly influences the
oil quality.
To evaporate possibly accumulated condensation water,
at least once a day 100 °C (212 °F) oil temperature must
be reached.
3.9) Engine shut-off

Normally the cooling down of the engine during descending and
taxiing will be sufficient to allow the engine to be shut off as
soon as the aircraft is stopped.
At increased operating temperatures make an engine cooling
run of at least minimum 2 minutes.
Step Procedure
1 Check the engine instruments.
2 Reduce engine speed down to idling.
3 Deactivate Lane select Switch B.

4 Deactivate Lane select Switch A.
5 Switch the fuel pumps “OFF“.
6 Shut-off according to the aircraft manufacturer

regulations.
7 Set main Switch to “OFF“.

Rev. 1 June 01 2019
3.10) Cold weather operation
Generally, an engine service should be carried out before the
start of the cold season.
Coolant For selection of coolant and mixing ratio, see Chapter 2.3.
Lubricant For selection of oil, see table of Lubricants Chapter 2.5.
Cold start • As performance of electric starter is greatly reduced when
hot, limit starting to periods not much longer than 10 sec.
Remedy - Cold start
Step Procedure
1 Use of multigrade oil with the low end viscosity code of 5

or 10.
2 Check electrode gap of spark plugs and if worn fit new
spark plugs. See Maintenance Manual Line of the re-
spective engine type.
3 Preheat engine.
Icing Icing due to water in fuel.
ATTENTION
Fuels containing alcohol always carry a small amount of water

in solution. In case of temperature changes or increase of alco-
hol content, water or a mixture of alcohol and water may settle
and could cause troubles.
Water in fuel will accumulate at the lower parts of the fuel sys-
tem and leads to freezing of fuel lines, filters or jets.
Remedy • Use non-contaminated fuel (filtered through suede)
• Generously sized water separators
• Fuel lines routing inclined and without undrained low points
• Prevent condensation of humidity, i. e avoid temperature dif-
ferences between aircraft and fuel

ATTENTION
Reduce engine power setting to the minimum necessary and

carry out precautionary landing.
NOTE
An oscillating system indicates limited capability from the sys-
tem (e.g. set value determination, diagnostics, etc.) however it
still continues to be able to provide full engine power.

June 01 2019 Rev. 1
NOTE
If a warning indicator remains on permanently, it indicates that
a error with higher severity (Failure) has been detected by the
internal testing procedures of the ECU.
In this case, the ECU will continue to operate in an alternative
control mode, which will transfer the control of ignition and in-
jection to the error- free Lane. Regular operation as well as al-
ternative control modes of the ECU are able to represent the
full engine power. Differences arise only in the efficiency of the
engine.
If limitations were exceeded, warning lamps may be reset by re-
start or lane check.
4.2) Engine not responding to power inputs

Engine not Engine not responding to throttle inputs

• Possible breakage/blockage of throttle valve actuation/

linkage.
• Possible problem/influence of alternate air system.
• Limited flight operation with available power possible.
• A maintenance inspection should be carried out.
4.3) Occurrence of uncharacteristic and severe engine vibrations

Engine vibrations • If the vibrations occur in conjunction with a loss of power then
the engine may only be firing on 3 cylinders
• Limited flight operation
• A maintenance inspection should be carried out
4.4) Re-Start during flight

If the propeller continues to rotate during flight by windmilling,
but the speed is not sufficient to start the engine, the electric
starter can be used. It is not required to wait until the propeller
stops rotating.
4.5) Failure of the EMS power supply

Failure of the EMS • If the EMS power supplies (alternator A) fails then the ECU
power supply automatically switches one-time over to the second EMS
power supply (alternator B)

Rev. 1 June 01 2019
ATTENTION
No charging of battery!
• While alternator B runs, no power drop is recognizable

• Failure of both EMS power supplies (alternator A/B) result in
engine stoppage. Remedy: Switch “ON“ the Battery Backup

Introduction This chapter of the Operators Manual contains information

about the general engine specification as well as a description
of cooling system, fuel system, lubrication system, electric
system and the propeller gearbox.
The system description refers only to the engine and not to a
specific application in a particular aircraft. The aircraft
manufacturer’s Operators Manual is therefore definitive in
terms of the operation of the engine, as it contains all the
aircraft specific instructions.
The design shown in this chapter does not represent a
specified execution but should support the understanding of the
system.

7.2) Cooling system
System Overview The cooling system of the engine is designed for liquid cooling
of the cylinder heads and ram-air cooling of the cylinders. The
cooling system of the cylinder heads is a closed circuit with an
expansion tank.
Coolant flow The coolant flow is forced by a water pump, driven from the
camshaft, from the radiator to the cylinder heads. From the top
of the cylinder heads the coolant passes on to the expansion
tank. Since the standard location of the radiator is below engine
level, the expansion tank located on the top of the engine allows
for coolant expansion.
Expansion tank From the expansion tank the coolant is sucked back to the
water pump. In common installations the coolant passes a radi-
ator in between. Additionally the expansion tank is closed by a
pressure cap (with excess pressure valve and return valve). At
temperature rise of the coolant the excess pressure valve
opens and the coolant will escape via hose at atmospheric
pressure. In common installation this hose is connected to an
overflow bottle. This overflow bottle allows that, when the en-
gine is cooling down, the coolant will be sucked back into the
cooling circuit.
Coolant tempera- The coolant temperature sensor is located on cylinder head 4.

7.3) Fuel system
Fuel flow The fuel flows from the tanks via a water separator/coarse filter
to the electric fuel pumps (1) (connected in series) from where it
is pumped thru the fine filter to the fuel rails (2, 4), the fuel injec-
tors (3) and to the fuel pressure regulator (5)
Fuel pump The fuel pumps are activated directly through the switch OFF/
switches ON. During take off and landing both switches (main and aux. )
must be ON.
Fuel pressure A fuel pressure regulator ensures that the pressure differential
regulator between the fuel injectors and the intake manifold remains con-
stant. This enables the fuel injection system to inject the same
quantity of fuel at any point given the same injection period.
Return line Through the return line surplus fuel flows back to the fuel tank.
NOTE
The return line must be always returned into the tank, from
which fuel is sucked into the fuel pump.

7.4) Lubrication system
The engine is provided with a dry sump forced lubrication sys-
tem with a main oil pump with integrated pressure regulator.
Lubrication The oil pump sucks the motor oil from the oil tank via the oil
cooler and forces it through the oil filter to the points of lubrica-
tion in the engine.
Crankcase The surplus oil emerging from the points of lubrication accumu-
lates on the bottom of crankcase and is forced back to the oil
tank by the piston blow-by gases.
Oil pump The oil pump is driven by the camshaft.
Oil venting system The oil circuit is vented via bore on the oil tank.
Oil temperature The oil temperature sensor for reading of the oil temperature is
sensor located on the crankcase, on the mag side of the engine.
Oil pressure The oil pressure sensor for reading of the oil pressure is located
sensor on the ignition housing.

7.5) Electric system
This System is responsible for supplying the Engine Manage-
ment System (EMS) and the Airframe with electrical power. It
consists of the Fusebox with Regulators and the Internal
Generators.
Figure 8: Internal power supply
1 Stator 2 Rectifier regulator A, B
3 Fusebox

Rev. 1 June 01 2019
Generators 1 The two generators (Generator 1 and Generator 2) are electri-
and 2 cally isolated and mounted on one stator. Each generator is
connected with a regulator mounted on the Fusebox. The Fuse-
box takes care of the energy management and allows selecting
whether the EMS is supplied by an external power source (e.g.
Battery) or one of the generators. The selection which of the
generators is powering the EMS depends on the engine status
and can only be done by the Engine Control Unit (ECU).
During the engine start an external power source is needed to
power the EMS. After the engine speed is high enough to power
the EMS with the Generator 2, for running the engine the exter-
nal power source is only required in emergency situations. If a
defined engine speed threshold has been reached for a certain
time Generator 1 takes over to supply the EMS. After this, Gen-
erator 2 can be used to supply the Airframe (e.g. instrumenta-
tion). In no operation state Generator 1 can be used to supply
the airframe
Malfunction In case of an malfunction of Generator 1 the internal electric
supply system changes to fail-safe mode where Generator 2
again is in charge to supply the EMS. In fail-safe mode Genera-
tor 2 is not able to charge external power sources or supply the
airframe.
The EMS is not capable of supervising the power provided to
the airframe. If the EMS is powered by Generator 1 and Gener-
ator B fails no indication is provided from engine side.
7.5.1) Engine Management System

The Engine Management System has following main
functionality
• Ignition control
• Fuel injection control
• Fault detection
• (Internal-) Generator management
Parts Parts of the Engine Management System are Sensors, Actua-
tors, the ECU and the wiring harness. The core of the EMS is
the engine control unit (ECU), which consists of two modules.
These modules will be denoted by Lane A and Lane B, each
one capable of taking over control, regulation and monitoring of
the engine. In error-free engine operation, both Lanes are
turned ON.
During engine control by Lane A, Lane B ensures that the en-
gine operation can be maintained even after a failure or re-
duced functionality of Lane A. Depending on the activity and the
failure status of the two Lanes, the ECU automatically selects a

June 01 2019 Rev. 1
Lane to take over control of the engine. A huge quantity of sen-
sors (e. g. sensors for measuring the pressure in the airbox)
and actuators (e. g. ignition coils) of the engine are designed
with redundancy. In this case, each of the sensors or actuators
is connected to a Lane, so that the two Lanes have the same
measurement values and send the same output signals. Non-
redundant sensors (e. g. oil pressure sensors) are connected to
one Lane only and serve for the expanded monitoring of the en-
gine functionality. Due to an ECU internal communication, these
sensor values will be exchanged between the two Lanes (as-
suming that both Lanes are active and free of errors).
Figure 9: Management System
7.5.2) Ignition control

The 912 iSc/iS Sport is equipped with 4 double ignition coils.
The ignition system is almost entirely wear-free, as the ECU
generates and processes the ignition signal electronically.
Firing sequence 1-4-2-3.

Rev. 1 June 01 2019
7.5.3) Fuel injection control
The engine is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system.
This system is controlled by the ECU and enables highly accu-
rate metering of the fuel according to operating and load condi-
tions, whilst at the same time also taking ambient conditions
into account.
The key input variables are throttle valve position, engine speed
signal, intake air temperature, ambient pressure, manifold pres-
sure and exhaust temperature. Ultimately, the required fuel
quantity or injection period is determined on the basis of the cal-
culated air density in the airbox. It is monitored continuously.
7.5.4) Communication interfaces

Each Lane has a maintenance and a display interface (CAN-
bus). While the maintenance interface is required to work with
the BUDS Aircraft Diagnostic Software to perform vari-
ous diagnostic and maintenance activities, the display CAN in-
terface enables the connection of a display for visualization of
engine parameters.
B.U.D.S Software For engines of the ROTAX® 912 i Series, the maintenance and
BUDS Aircraft Diagnostic Software is available. This
provides not only the reading of ECU logs, it also provide a vari-
ety of functionality to support troubleshooting of the engine. To
start this software and connect the engine with a computer a
BUDS Aircraft Diagnostic Software kit is required. This
is a hardware interface that provides different software function-
ality depending on its version.
7.6) Propeller gearbox

Reduction ratio For the engine type 912 iSc/iS Sport one reduction ratio is
available.
Reduction ratio 912 iSc/iS Sport

crankshaft: propeller shaft 2.43:1

m WARNING

Due to the special material of the cylinder wall, there is no need

for extra protection against corrosion for ROTAX® aircraft en-
gines. At extreme climatic conditions and for long out of service
periods we recommend the following to protect the valve guides
against corrosion:
Step Procedure
1 Operate the engine until the temperatures have stabilized
for a period of 5 min (engine oil temperature between 50 to
70 °C (122 to 160 °F).
2 Shut-off engine.
3 Allow the engine to cool down.
4 Change oil.
5 Remove the top spark plugs and spray into openings with
corrosion inhibiting oil.
6 Turn the propeller several times by hand in direction of the

engine rotation, so that the corrosion inhibiting oil reaches
all necessary points.
7 Install the spark plug in accordance to the Maintenance

Manual.
8 Close all openings on the cold engine, such as exhaust
end pipe, venting tube, air filter etc. against entry of dirt
and humidity.
9 Spray all steel external engine parts with corrosion inhibit-

ing oil.
