< Back MTD-05-2024 - Jabiru Distributor Caps - Issue 2 23 Jul 2025 MTD-05-2024 - Jabiru Distributor Caps - has been upissued to Issue 2 today. This MTD can be found HERE and is also available below. On 10th July 2024, LAA Engineering published Issue 1 of MTD-05-2024. This was published due to apparent variations in the design of the distributor caps and rotor arms on Jabiru 2200 engines, which meant that, in some cases, there was insufficient clearance between the rotor arm and centre boss of the distributor cap, causing the contact button of the distributor cap to be flattened against its range of travel by the rotor arm, which causes extremely accelerated wear leading to ignition issues and potential engine failures. Today, Issue 2 of MTD-05-2024 has been issued, superseding Issue 1. Issue 1 of MTD-05-2024 detailed a method for ensuring sufficient clearance between the centre boss of the distributor cap and the rotor arm. This method has now been superseded by Jabiru’s Service Bulletin JSL050. LAA MTD-05-2024 Jabiru distributor cap Iss 2 .pdf Download PDF • 294KB Next Previous

< Back LAA Alert for some models of Rotax Engines 1 Mar 2025 LAA Alert A-02-2025 has been published on the LAA website (and is also attached), highlighting a recent service bulletin published by Rotax regarding the inspection and/or replacement of the crankcase and/or gearbox housing on affected engines. Rotax has identified a potential manufacturing issue affecting the hardness values of the crankcase and/or gearbox housing materials in certain engines. These components may not meet the required specifications for material hardness, which could lead to reduced component durability and/or potential oil leakage. Rotax regards this bulletin as mandatory. A-02-2025 - Rotax Crankcase .pdf Download PDF • 220KB Next Previous

Rotax Fuel Injected 912 iS / 915 iS Installation & Operation Price Member - £224, Non-Member - £244 Duration Arrival 09:30. Finish 17:00. < Back About the Course With the growth of interest in the fuel-injected Rotax 912 and 915 iS series engines, it has become apparent that there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about the installation and operation of these engines and the way that the latest built-in systems work. Electronics and Rotax iRMT certified engineer, John Barrott, was an early installer of a 912iS and found it difficult to find accurate information on best practice. Working with UK Rotax agents CFS and LAA Engineering, John has built up a comprehensive understanding of the iS engines and has developed a course around this to provide help and advice on the installation and operation of this new generation of aero engines. The course is classroom (not workshop) based. Your Instructor John Barrott Dates Saturday 21 February 2026 Times Arrival 09:30. Finish 17:00. Duration One day course Venue LAA HQ, Turweston Aerodrome, NN13 5YD Price Member - £224, Non-Member - £244 Booking Pls call the LAA on 01280 846 786 to enquire/book or email [email protected] . *Please note that payment is required when booking, to confirm your place.
