Airworthiness Directive 2012-26772
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG Rotax Reciprocating Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG Rotax 912 F2; 912 F3; 912 F4; 912 S2; 912 S3; and 912 S4 reciprocating engines. The word "not" was improperly omitted from the Installation Prohibition section of the AD, thereby changing the prohibition in the AD. This correction reinserts "not" into the paragraph to correct the omission. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
Which aircraft AD 2012-26772 applies to
Rotax 912 F2/F3/F4/S2/S3/S4 series — installation prohibition; confirm exact model from records
Whether AD 2012-26772 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
