EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE 

AD No.: 2011-0082 

Date: 10 May 2011 

Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with 

Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States and 

of the European third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 66 of 

that Regulation. 

This AD is issued in accordance with EC 1702/2003, Part 21A.3B. In accordance with EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the 

continuing airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person may operate 

an aircraft to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD unless otherwise specified by the Agency 

[EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [EC 216/2008, Article 14(4) exemption]. 

Type Approval Holder’s Name: 

BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co. KG

Type/Model designation(s): 

Rotax 914 F series engines 

TCDS Number: EASA.E.122 

Foreign AD: Not applicable 

Supersedure : None

ATA 73 Engine Fuel & Control – Fuel Pressure Regulator – Identification 

/ Replacement 

Manufacturer(s): BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co. KG, BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG; 

Bombardier-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG; Bombardier-Rotax GmbH 

Applicability: Rotax 914 F2, 914 F3 and 914 F4 engines, all serial numbers. 

These engines are known to be installed on, but not limited to, the following 

types of aeroplanes (mostly powered sailplanes): Aeromot AMT-300 Turbo 

Super Ximango, Aircraft Philipp (formerly Alpla-Werke; Nitsche) AVO 68 

series Samburo, Diamond (formerly HOAC) HK 36 series Super Dimona, 

Scheibe SF 25C and Stemme S10-VT. 

Note: The installation of these engines was either done by the respective 

aeroplane manufacturer or through modification of the aeroplane by 

Supplemental Type Certificate. 

Reason: Isolated manufacturing deviations have been reportedly found on the 

threads of a certain batch of Fuel pressure Regulators, Part Number (P/N) 

887130, installed on Rotax 914 F series engines. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead to a fuel leak and in-flight fire 

which would necessitate an engine shut-down, possibly resulting in a forced 

landing, with consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to occupants. 

For the reasons describe above, this AD requires the replacement of all 

affected P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulators with serviceable parts. 

Effective Date: 24 May 2011

Required Action(s) 

and Compliance 

Time(s) 

Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously: 

(1) Within 100 flight hours or 6 months, whichever occurs first after the 

effective date of this AD, accomplish the following actions: 

(1.1) Identify the serial number (s/n) of the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure 

Regulator installed on the aeroplane. 

(1.2) If the s/n of the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator, identified as 

required by paragraph (1.1) of this AD, is listed in Appendix 1 of 

this AD, replace the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator, in 

accordance with the instructions of BRP-Powertrain Mandatory 

Service Bulletin (SB) SB-914-040, with a serviceable unit, having 

a s/n not listed in Appendix 1 of this AD. 

(2) From the effective date of this AD, do not install a P/N 887130 Fuel 

Pressure Regulator on an engine, unless it has been determined that 

the s/n is not listed in Appendix 1 of this AD. 

(3) From the effective date of this AD, do not install a Rotax 914 F series 

engine on an aeroplane, unless it has been determined that the s/n of 

the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator installed on that engine is not 

listed in Appendix 1 of this AD.
