Airworthiness Directives; Various Aircraft Equipped With BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG 912 A Series Engine

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for various aircraft equipped with a BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG (formerly Rotax Aircraft Engines) 912 A series engine. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as a design change of the engine cylinder head temperature sensor without a concurrent revision of the engine model designation, the engine part number, or the cockpit indication to the pilot. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Part-conditional — 413235, 413236.

Applies to all serial numbers of the listed airplane models, certificated in any category, that are equipped with a BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co KG (formerly Rotax Aircraft Engines) 912 A-series engine with a P/N 413235 or 413236 cylinder head installed in position 2 or 3. Per Table 1: AMT-200 (912 A2), HK 36 R Super Dimona (912 A2), HK 36 TS/TC (912 A3), DA20-A1 (912 A3), DV 20 Katana (912 A3), Sky Arrow 650 TC (912 A2), SF 25C (912 A2 or 912 A3).

Whether AD 2016-12-02 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2016-12-02 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
