NOTICE
Risk of consequential damage to engine and aircraft as a result of corrosion and
damage. Under no circumstances is a corroded or damaged engine to be in-
stalled in an aircraft!
ENGINE STORAGE
The engine is preserved at BRP-Rotax thus guaranteeing proper protection against corro-
sion damage for at least 12 months after the date of delivery from BRP-Rotax.
This warranty is subject to the following conditions:
• The engine must be stored in the GENUINE-ROTAX®-packing as supplied by BRP-
Rotax.
• The covers on various openings must not be removed.
• The engine must be stored in a suitable place (at min. -40 °C/-40 °F and max. +80 °C/
176 °F).
• The flat bag (blue) surrounding the engine must not be damaged or removed, as it pro-
tects the engine from corrosion and oxidation.
If the engine is stored for a period longer than 12 months (not stored in the GENUINE-RO-
TAX®-packing) then maintenance tasks must be carried out every 3 months as per the
currently valid Maintenance Manual, section “Preservation of a new engine“.
General note All general inspection, maintenance and repair has to be carried out in accordance with
Advisory Circular AC 43.13 from FAA.
Advisory Circular This Manual "Advisory Circular" AC describes maintenance methods, techniques and
practice. These are recognized and authorized for inspection and repairs in non-pressur-
ized areas for which there are no separate maintenance and repair instructions.
Corrosion Environmental corrosion (on the external surfaces) is a naturally occurring process which
can inevitably affect the continued airworthiness of the engine, engine mounted compo-
nents and accessories. Susceptibility to corrosion is influenced by a number of factors, in-
cluding but not limited to, geographical location, season and usage.All general preventive
(technical) measures, identification, control and treatment of corrosive attack on aircraft
structures and engine materials has to be carried out in accordance with Advisory Circu-
lar AC 43-4B from FAA and also in accordance with the information of the aircraft manu-
facturers Instruction for Continued Airworthiness. Furthermore the preservation
procedures for stored and inactive aircraft (engines) provides an effective means for com-
bating and minimizing the corrosion condition and should be adhered to.
Advisory Circular AC 43-4B This advisory circular (AC) is a summary of the current avail-
able data regarding identification and treatment of corrosive attack on aircraft structures
and engine materials. Corrosion inspection frequency, corrosion identification, and espe-
cially corrosion treatment continues to be the responsibility of the operator. These inspec-
tions should be accomplished per this AC, the manufacturer’s recommendations, or the
operator’s own maintenance program. The procedures in this AC are an acceptable
