Light Sport Repairman Course or Rotax specific courses?
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2014 8:16 pm
At Sebring I had a nice chat with Rainbow who do a 3 week Light Sport Repairman course. 120 hours about $4k. Faa certificate at the end and I would be qualified to do maintenance on my own airplane, and that of others, including servicing and annual condition inspections. They said I could even charge, say $65 hr, to work on other LSAs! I'm not sure about that part but I do have some questions and wondered if any of the forum have any answers?
Lockwood, at Sebring, do a series of Rotax specific courses from servicing to repairs to overhauls. Usually 2-3 days.
Question: would the Rotax specific be better, for a Rotax owner, and more cost effective?
Question: The LS Repairman course is FAA certified, with bi-annual recurrent training required, correct?
Question: Does the Repairman course (which includes Rotax specific training) qualify me to work on a Continental 0-200D airplane?
eg Skycatcher? Legend Cub? ie. a )-200D LSA only airplane?
Question: Has anyone undergone this type of training? Comments, good, bad etc
Cheers, Howard
