Due to the higher lead content in AVGAS, the wear of the valve seats, deposits in th
e combustion
chamber and lead sediments in the lubrication system will increase. Therefore, use AVGAS only if you
encounter problems with vapor lock or if other fuel types are not available.
For additional information concerning fuel specification consult
the
Operator’s Manual for all versions
of Rotax 912
supplied with the engine.
The fuel system consists of two 10.6 U.S. gallon
s wing tanks, a 1.
1
U.S. gallons
central header tank
behind the left seat, a fuel drain valve positioned below the header tank,
three fuel valves, one fuel filter,
an engine driven fuel pump
,
a backup electric fuel pump (not shown in the diagram below),
and the
connecting fuel lines.
The fuel is gravity
-
fed from the right
-
hand and/or left
-
hand wing tank, through the wing tank fu
el values,
into the central header tank. The fuel is then further directed from the central tank through the fuel filter
and the electric fuel boost pump through the main fuel valve and to the mechanical fuel pump on the
engine which then delivers the fuel
to the carburetors.
The amount of fuel in each tank is indicated by a visual sight tube which is a part of each tank. Minimum
fuel quantity in the central tank is indicated by a red warning light on the instrument panel. The remaining
fuel (0.9 U.S. gall
on), is enough for approximately 10 minutes of flight. The low fuel warning light can be
tested at any time by pushing the control button next to the light on the instrument panel. If the red light
does not light up when the control button is pushed and he
ld, consider the bulb to be blown out and so do
not rely on the minimum fuel quantity warning light:
-
In this case, make a more conservative estimate for
fuel on board, regularly check the fuel quantity in wing tanks and land as soon as you are not confid
ent of
the fuel quantity in the wing tanks.
Although it is normal to leave both wing tank fuel values open, occasionally, one tank will drain faster than
the other. Should this situation occur, manipulate the fuel tank valves to ensure continuous flow of
fuel to
the engine is maintained.

The fuel drain valve outlet is located behind and below the left seat on the outside of the fuselage; to
check for water and dirt, push the neck of the drain pipe gently upwards, into the fuselage and
subsequently a fuel
sample can be taken.

Minimum o
il quantity…………………………………………….

.1 quarts
Oil specification:
Use semi
-
synthetic 10w40 motorcycle type oil of a registered brand name. Caution
:
When selecting the
most suitable lubricants refer to the additional information in the Rotax Service Information SI
-
18
-
1997.
Normally the recomme
nded oil is Aeroshell Sport 4 (a 10w40 semi
-
synthetic oil)
.
—
Use only oil with API classification "
SF
" or "
SG
"!
—
Due to the high stresses in the reduction gears, oils with gear additives such as high
performance motor cycle oils are required
—
Because of the
incorporated friction clutch, oils with friction modifier additives are
unsuitable as this could result in a slipping clutch during normal operation.
—
Heavy duty 4
-
stroke motor cycle oils meet all the requirements. These oils are normally
not mineral oils
but
are
semi
-
or full synthetic oils.
—
Oils primarily for Diesel engines are
insufficient
due to
high temperature properties
and additives which favor clutch slipping, generally therefore are unsuitable.
CAUTION
:
If the engine is mainly run on AVGAS
mor
e frequent
oil changes will be required. See Rotax
Service Information SI
-
18
-
1997.
For additional information concerning oil system consult
Operator’s Manual for all versions of Rotax
912
supplied with the engine.
The maximum and minimum oil level is indi
cated by two marks on the dipstick in the oil tank.

WARNING
Make sure that above
-
mentioned weight limits are strictly followed.
Structural failures which result from
overloading of the aircraft may
be dramatic and catastrophic.
The additional stress placed on the structural parts by overloading can accelerate the occurrence of metal
fatigue failures. Also
,
flight characteristics might change significantly when aircraft is
overloaded. Take
-
off
and landing distance is significantly longer for overloaded aircraft. Overloading of the
aircraft is one of the
causes of accidents.


T
he
EIS
system not only alerts you when reaching an actual system lim
it, it also has the
capability to provide alerts when reaching a Warning Limit that is just short of the actual non
-
permissible limit
.

When one or more Warning Limits are exceeded
–
the corresponding value blinks on the EIS
display, the alarm lamp on the i
nstrument panel blinks
.
When
the pilot presses the “Next/Ack”
button on the EIS,
the
Alarm Lamp goes steady until the out of tolerance condition is corrected.

When the actual limit is reached, the EIS reacts in the same manner as a new fault, except the
alarm lamp blinks at longer intervals. The pilot must press Next/Ack again to turn both the
blinking alarm light and EIS display to steady.

The battery (Powersafe SBS8, 12v, 7 ah) is located behind the right
-
hand pilot’s seat. Nominal voltage in
aircraft system is 13.5 to 14.2 V. The engine is equipped with an integrated AC generator with external
rectifier
-
regulator (12 V, 20A DC).

Aircraft lighting equipment
The A220 features the Whelen LED wingtip lights. This system consists of a white rearward
-
facing LED
lights and a flashing LED strobe light on the side of both wingtips, a green forward
-
faci
ng LED light on the
right wingtip and a red forward
-
facing light on the left wingtip. There is also a landing light fitted to the
lower nose cowling which also acts as a taxi light. Power for the light system is taken from the aircraft's
main power supply.
NOTE:
The A240 is NOT approved for night flight, and the exterior aircraft lighting does not comply with all
the FAR requirements for night flight.
1.8
Electric fuel pump
The
A2
4
0
is equipped with an electric fuel pump with an on/off switch and "on" indicato
r light on the
instrument panel. The electric fuel pump serves as a booster or backup to the engine
-
driven mechanical
fuel pump.
The electric fuel pump should be used at any time when the sudden failure of the
engine
-
driven mechanical fuel pump and a los
s of fuel pressure could cause a loss of engine
power and compromise safety. Normally this will mean utilizing the electric fuel pump during
takeoff, during climb
-
out to a safe minimum altitude, during any low
-
altitude operations, and
during landing.

Airspeed indicator system calibration:
As requested by ASTM F
-
2245
-
04
§9.1
all flight speeds are presented as calibrated airspeeds in miles
per hours (MPH). As the calibrated airspeed cannot be usually de
termined by a simple reading of the
aircraft airspeed indicator, corresponding Indicated airspeeds in miles per hours (MPH) are also
presented in this document. All airspeed values in this handbook assume no instrument error.

WARNING
The stall speed mentioned above are with wings level. Once any
angle of bank
(e.g. turn) is encountered the stall spe
ed is significantly increasing.
e
xample: angle of bank

V
S
= 73 MPH
The more bank
–
the higher the stall speed. This simple rule is especially important when a turn at
maximum permitted angle
of bank (60°) is performed. Do not start the turn until you have sufficient
airspeed reserve
–
recommended entry speed is 92 MPH. Full throttle is also essential to have sufficient
thrust reserve as the drag is
increasing during a steep turn.
