Maintenance and parts support
Every new Aeroprakt aircraft is delivered with a comprehensive maintenance manual, which describes all the service requirements for the aircraft. This is supplemented by separate documentation for the Rotax engine, including a paper logbook, maintenance manuals and propeller maintenance information.
Correct maintenance starts with effective pre-flight checks, backed by regular, scheduled maintenance as per the manufacturer's requirements.
Aeroprakt aircraft are powered by a liquid cooled Rotax 912 series engine. Key checks ensure all oil and coolant hoses are secure and not leaking before you fly. Post-flight inspections after your flight, or at the end of a flying day when the engine is still hot, is a good time to see any leaks or other problems that may disappear before your next flight.
Service/inspection intervals with a new Aeroprakt aircraft require a mandatory 25 hour first service, when the aircraft must be thoroughly checked and engine oil and filter changed. This initial service is followed by further 25, 50 and 100 hourly checks and servicing, depending on the type of flying you do and the type of fuel you use. Read the manufacturer's service manuals for the aircraft and engine and become familiar with service requirements.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of good maintenance - look after your aircraft and it will look after you!
