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 manufacturing defect found in certain carburetor floats where an in-flight engine shutdown and forced landing could occur when the affected cylinder had reduced or blocked fuel supply. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Part-conditional — 892500, 892505, 861185.

Applies to all serial numbers of the listed airplane models (each equipped with a BRP-Powertrain/Rotax 912 A-series engine, see Table 1 for model/engine pairing) that incorporate either: (1) a 912 A-series engine with a carburetor P/N and S/N listed in Table 2 (P/N 892500 for cylinder position 1 or 3, P/N 892505 for cylinder position 2 or 4) installed; or (2) an affected carburetor float, P/N 861185 (initially delivered May 9, 2016 through July 17, 2016, lacking three dots stamped on the surface), installed in service after May 8, 2016.

Whether AD 2016-23-06 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 2016-23-06 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.
