Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Rotax factory certified mechanic required?

Well there ya go!

No problem.

 

I remember reading a bunch of posts about how Rotax had requirements for factory certified mechanics to do certain jobs on the Rotax engines. What was that all about?

 

thanks Abid,

Rick

It DOESN'T matter.
The point is if an engine is more problem prone, it doesn't matter who can work on it.
If an engine keeps running with simple oil changes and carb synchronization (that at least we allow any A&P to do as well in our aircraft) then who cares who can work on it. The point is the engine keeps running without needing major work.
