That article is from 2009. While some of the information is valid, there are some opinions expressed that have proven to be wrong in the eyes of the FAA.

Re: S-LSA: MRA's
The biggest thing that stands out is the requirement for Rotax factory training. The FAA has made it clear that factory training is not required.
Re: S-LSA: MRA's
I think it's important to point out, that at the time of the article, 2009, it wasn't an opinion that you had to have a Rotax authorization to work on their engines, it was considered mandatory by the FAA how they interpreted the ATSM standards.
However, the author of this article, Carol Carpenter, championed the effort to have that changed as manufacturers can not create regulation. The FAA agreed and Rotax changed their narrative and documentation.

None of which means it isn't a good idea to follow the manufacturer's instructions anyway.
The opinions posted are those of one CFI, and do not necessarily represent the FAA or its lawyers.

Re: S-LSA: MRA's
You are required by regulation to follow the manufacturer's instructions, except in the case of an experimental. Receiving factory training is not an instruction, it is a recommendation.drseti wrote:None of which means it isn't a good idea to follow the manufacturer's instructions anyway.
