Rotax aircraft engines are indeed certified, and their certifications are a key reason for their widespread use in various aircraft categories.
Here's a breakdown of their certifications:
* EASA Type Certificates: Rotax holds various Type Certificates (TCs) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These TCs allow Rotax to produce certified aircraft engines for specific airplane categories and to make changes and repairs on them. Examples include TCs for the Rotax 912, 914, 915, and 916 series engines. EASA is a highly respected authority in aviation safety globally.
* Design Organisation Approval (DOA) and Production Organisation Approval (POA): Rotax's aircraft engine business meets the Design and Production certification standards of EASA. This means their entire process, from design to manufacturing, is subject to rigorous oversight and approval by EASA.
* DOA Certificate (EASA.21J.048)
* POA Certificate (AT.21G.0006)
* ISO Certifications: Rotax is also certified according to international quality management standards:
* ISO 9001:2015: This confirms the application and continuous improvement of an effective Quality Management System.
* ISO 14001:2015: This demonstrates their commitment to environmental consciousness.
* ASTM Compliance: All Rotax 4-stroke aircraft engines and the 2-stroke Rotax 582 UL comply with the ASTM F2339 standard, which is the "Standard Practice for Design and Manufacture of Reciprocating Spark Ignition Engines for Light-Sport Aircraft." This compliance is important for engines used in Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) categories.
* Validation in Other Countries: Rotax has validated its EASA Engine Type Certificates in several countries beyond EASA member states. This allows for direct installation and usage in aircraft in those nations.
Important Distinction:
It's worth noting that Rotax produces both "certified" and "ASTM compliant" (sometimes referred to as "non-certified" or "sport versions") aircraft engines. While the engines themselves might be mechanically similar, the "certified" versions undergo a more extensive and documented certification process by aviation authorities like EASA (and often subsequently validated by FAA or other national authorities), making them suitable for a wider range of aircraft classifications that require such certifications. ASTM compliance is a different standard primarily for Light-Sport Aircraft.
In essence, when it comes to aircraft engines, Rotax is a highly certified manufacturer, which is why their engines are trusted by a vast majority of aircraft manufacturers in the light, ultralight, and light-sport aircraft segments worldwide.
И, кстати, что там с автомобильными корнями авиационных Ротаксов?
