Variants and engines
The original Faeta lists the Rotax 912 UL (80 hp) or 912 ULS (100 hp), with a 450 kg MTOW. The NG lists the Rotax 912 iS Sport at 100 hp and an MTOW of 600 kg. Fuel is MOGAS: min RON 90 for the 912 UL, RON 95 for the ULS, and RON 95/97 with max 10% ethanol for the NG. The engines are not certified aviation engines. Propellers are 2- or 3-blade FITI.
What to inspect
Read SB01/2016. It was issued after an accident in Norway and applies to aircraft with a non-original airbox. A filter inside the hot-air hose, held by fine wires, can come loose and be drawn into the airbox or carburettor. ATEC requires the hose to be removed and checked before the next flight, and the check logged. Also confirm the type certificate, the log books and the rescue system fitted (USH 52 S or USH 600 are listed).
Handling and assembly notes
The FlightLevel checklist for a Faeta gives rotation at 70 km/h, lift-off at 75 km/h, climb Vx 110 km/h, cruise 120-230 km/h, final 90 km/h and touchdown 70 km/h. Assembly and disassembly need at least two people. Locking nuts and split pins must be replaced on each reassembly, and gel-coat can crack if surfaces are pushed hard.
Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.
Safety notes
- Rotax 912 engines are not certified aviation engines; the manuals say failure can occur at any time. Plan altitude and track to allow a safe landing.
- Per the manual, the aircraft is operated at the user's own risk and is not subject to CAA authorisation.
- Aerotow: single pilot only, maximum takeoff weight 450 kg, towed glider max 750 kg. Landing with the rope attached is prohibited except in emergencies.
