GENERAL
Safety Recommendations
The following symbols and warnings are used in this manual.
They must be heeded strictly to prevent personal injury and
material damage, to avoid impairment of the operational safety
of the aircraft and to rule out any damage to the aircraft as a
consequence of improper handling.
UPDATE AND REVISION OF THE MANUAL
WARNING: Non-compliance with these safety rules
could lead to injury or even death.
CAUTION: Non-compliance with these special notes
and safety measures could cause damage
to the engine or to the other components.
Note: Information added for a better
understanding of an instruction.
WARNING: A safe operation is only assured with an up
to date POH supplement. Information about
actual POH supplement issues and
revisions are published in the Service
Bulletin TM TAE 000-0004.
Note: The Doc.-No of this POH supplement is
published on the cover sheet of this
supplement.

ENGINE
Engine manufacturer:Continental Aerospace Technologies GmbH
Engine model:...........................TAE 125-01 or TAE 125-02-99
The TAE 125-02-99 is the successor of the 125-01. Both engine
variants have the same power output and the same propeller
speeds but different displacement. While the TAE 125-01 has
1689 ccm, the TAE 125-02-99 has 1991 ccm. Both TAE 125
engine variants are liquid cooled in-line four-stroke 4-cylinder
motors with DOHC (double overhead camshaft) and are direct
Diesel injection engines with common-rail technology and
turbocharging. Both engine variants are controlled by a FADEC
system. The propeller is driven by a built-in-gearbox (i=1.69)
with mechanical vibration dampening and overload release.
The engine variants have an electrical self starter and an
alternator.
Due to this specific characteristic, all of the information from the
flight manual recognized by EASA are no longer valid with
reference to:
•carburetor and carburetor pre-heating
•ignition magnetos and spark plugs, and
•mixture control and priming system
WARNING: The engine requires an electrical power
source for operation. If the main battery and
alternator fail, the engine will only operate
for a maximum of 30 minutes on FADEC
backup battery power.
Therefore, it is important to pay attention to
indications of alternator failure.

circumstances if the level is too low.
CAUTION: Use of unapproved fuels may result in damage
to the engine and fuel system components,
resulting in possible engine failure.
CAUTION: Use approved oil with exact declaration only!
CAUTION: Normally it is not necessary to fill the cooling
liquid or gearbox oil between maintenance
intervals. If the level is too low, please notify
the service department immediately.
