i. Indemnity. The Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ConAir Sports Ltd, its officers, employees, agents, distributors and dealers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, expense, costs (including, without limitation, costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with customer's failure to comply with any of its obligations herein contained, except for such loss or damage which was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of ConAir Sports Ltd, its officers, employees, agents, distributors or dealers, provided however, that the ConAir Sports Ltd shall nevertheless have the right, if it so elects and notifies the customer, to participate at the ConAir Sports Ltds expense in the defence of any such suit or suits in which it may be a party, without relieving customer of the obligation to defend the same.
ii. WARNING. All air sports can be dangerous even when practised under ideal circumstances. Pilot error, component failure, adverse meteorological conditions or sheer bad luck can in all aviation result in injury or death. Every customer purchasing goods or services whether directly or indirectly from ConAir Sports Ltd is warned that microlight, ultralight, hang glider and powered hang glider, paramotor and hovercraft flying and similar air sports are not controlled as are other forms of aviation. As a result components and related equipment are manufactured from commercially available materials and components and some of these materials and components are not designed specifically for aviation use. Engine and aircraft parts supplied, services and technical advice, are intended for use in permit and de-regulated aircraft, by definition the aircraft must be operated in a manor where a safe landing can be made at all times and an engine failure will not affect flight safety. Every purchaser must ensure that he inspects fully every purchased item upon delivery and before every flight thereafter and he must make himself aware of all trends or changes which may make a particular item unsuitable for the use for which it was originally purchased. He must also satisfy himself totally that a purchased item is suitable for the use to which he intends to employ it. ConAir Sports Ltd can offer advice but the final responsibility for the use of the goods purchased rests solely with the purchaser (whether direct or indirect) or other user who employs such goods at his own risk. This warning applies to every part item, service or any technical advice offered by ConAir Sports Ltd and acceptance of or payment for goods is an implicit acceptance of this warning.

Additional Terms and Conditions of Service Work on 2 stroke Engines
34. – Bookings - Booking in your engine for service work with ConAir Sports Ltd constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions for this and all subsequent service work carried out on your behalf.
35. Price – The price for the service will be as listed or estimated unless further work is found to be required during the course of the service. If no limit has been specified by the customer, the budget will be considered to be unlimited.
36. Cancellations – Any cancellations with less than 96 hours notice will be subject to a cancellation fee that may include travelling charges. Any items that ConAir Sports Ltd has purchased specifically for any cancelled work will be charged at full retail price.
37. Service Bulletins/Modifications – As it would greatly increase the cost of every job to investigate compliance to all relevant service bulletins and modifications, ConAir Sports Ltd will only implement bulletins or modifications as requested by the customer. It is the owners responsibility to ensure that all relevant documentation is completed and registered with the relevant authority.
38. Engine installations in aircraft – It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that any work carried out or any items fitted or installed by ConAir Sports Ltd are in accordance with the aircraft manufacturers or approval requirements. ConAir Sports Ltd is unable to investigate all variants of installations of Rotax engines, and will generally follow instructions issued by the engine manufacturer.
39. Service checklist – Not all items listed in the Service Checklist are included in all services. For example changing of the cross gear lubricant is included as part of a 100 hour service but not in a 50 hour service, and some items are particular only to certain engines.
40. Non engine service items – Please note that, due to the variation in systems used between aircraft types, the following items that appear in the Rotax service schedule are not included as part of our normal service work as it would not be economical for us to do so: a) Lubricate control cables; b) Balance and track propeller; c) Clean and oil air filter(s); d) Check fuel filter.
41. Checks after engine service 1 – Following all service work involving the removal of the cylinder head(s) and exhaust manifold(s), where new gaskets have been fitted, the cylinder head and exhaust manifold nuts should be checked for correct torque after the first 2 hours running. Where the engine is installed in a manner giving access to these nuts, then we recommend the procedure is carried out. Some installations require major dismantling work to gain access to these nuts and in these circumstances it is not practical to complete the check. Without the check, it is possible for an oil leak to develop, although a minor seep of oil from the exhaust manifold gasket is not significant to the state of airworthiness of the aircraft. A larger leak from the exhaust manifold or a leak from the cylinder head must be dealt with.
42. Checks after engine service 2 – Following service work involving the renewal of gearbox components (other than shims or ring halves) the gearbox oil must be changed after 10 hours running time.
43. Checks after engine service 3 – Following renewal of contact breaker sets the contact breaker gaps and ignition timing should be checked, and where necessary adjusted, after 10 hours running time.
44. Re-connection of controls – If the engine is re-installed on the aircraft by others, then particular attention must be paid to the throttle controls, to ensure correct assembly at the carburettors. Twin carburettors must be synchronised at idle and throughout their full operating movement. Idle adjustment is carried out with the idle screw(s), cable adjusters are used to synchronise the slides or butterflies. Carburettor security, rubber manifold security and cable grommets must be checked. Carburettors must be fitted at 90° to the engine in plan view and in vertical alignment with the cylinder. If the carburettors were not supplied with the engine for service, they must be checked for wear.
45. Dual control inspection – It is a legal requirement to carry out a dual inspection prior to flight, of any aircraft primary control system (including throttle controls) after disconnection and re-assembly. The inspection can be completed and signed off by yourself (as PPL licence holder) and your local inspector (all our services involve disconnection and reconnection of the throttle controls).
46. After service ground run – Following service work and prior to running the engine, a thorough inspection must be carried out. We recommend that the Rotax service information sheet 3.UL.91.E “Daily inspection and pre-flight Checks” is followed for the inspection of 2-stroke engines. Also consult the latest edition of the Operator’s Manual and any Service Information and Service Bulletins for the engine type. The engine must be ground run, over the full range of power settings, for a minimum period of 20 minutes prior to flight. Where it is not possible or it would cause damage to the aircraft or engine if it were to be run over the full range, consult your ConAir Sports service engineer for further advice. During this running period, checks should be made for: abnormal temperatures, excessive vibration, correct full throttle RPM, cable/fuel hose abrasion, unusual noises and abnormal mag drop (dual ignition units). Afterwards the engine and mounts must be thoroughly checked for loose fixings and signs of abrasion of harnesses, hoses, controls and bolt on accessories. Following work involving honing, re-boring cylinders or crankshaft removal, the full Rotax running in procedure must be carried out. Engines must be run within 14 days of service work being carried out in order to distribute the lubricants thoroughly. Where this may not be possible you should consult ConAir Sports for further advice. If you know that the engine is not going to be run for at least 14 days after the service work has been carried out, inform the service engineer so that the necessary actions can be taken to protect the engine. Where ConAir Sports engineers are required to carry out ground running, the aircraft should be provided sufficiently fuelled (with the correct fuel) for all necessary running. If the aircraft is required to be empty, an engineer will request that the aircraft be emptied of fuel in advance.
47. Log Books – It is the engine owners responsibility to ensure that the engine log book is updated for all work carried out to the engine.
48. Regular engine runs and corrosion inhibition – To prevent corrosion within the engine and serious reduction in engine life the engine should be run, until normal operating temperatures are reached, at least once every two weeks. If this is not possible, then we recommend the use of an oil with good inhibiting properties and the propeller should at least be turned through a few revolutions every couple of weeks. If it is anticipated that the engine will not be run for a period of more than a month, then full corrosion inhibition treatment must be followed as per your engine manual.
49. On going maintenance – For continued reliability of your engine, it is necessary for periodic maintenance to be conducted. The latest engine manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, daily inspection and pre-flight checks should be followed. For 2-stroke engines it is also essential that conrod bearing clearance measurements are carried out and recorded every 10 hours in order to be able to predict big end bearing failure. If you are unsure how to carry out conrod bearing clearance checks please consult a ConAir Sports Ltd engineer.
50. Work carried out on site – Site work may be carried out by request. It shall be the customers’ responsibility to ensure adequate access and that the work can be completed without interference from other trades. Site work will be charged in accordance with the special rates in force at the time; any waiting time incurred through events out of our service engineers control, shall be charged extra at the current site rate.

If warranty work is carried out on site, the purchaser will be responsible for payment of travelling charges at the current rate. The engine presented to ConAir Sports Ltd for a warranty claim must be in the same form as presented for the original job (e.g. removed from the airframe) unless agreed beforehand with the ConAir Sports Ltd service engineer in order to demonstrate a particular problem. Warranty claims shall not be considered by ConAir Sports Ltd unless and until full payment for the services has been made.
52. Free issue components – Free issue items must be supplied to ConAir Sports Ltd fit for purpose and with all necessary fitting instructions (if no fitting instructions are supplied, ConAir Sports will fit the components to the best of their ability and knowledge).

The inspection can be completed and signed off by yourself (as PPL licence holder) and your local inspector (all our services involve disconnection and reconnection of the throttle controls).
46. After service ground run – Following service work and prior to running the engine, a thorough inspection must be carried out. We recommend that the Rotax service information sheet 3.UL.91.E “Daily inspection and pre-flight Checks” is followed for the inspection of 2-stroke engines. Also consult the latest edition of the Operator’s Manual and any Service Information and Service Bulletins for the engine type. The engine must be ground run, over the full range of power settings, for a minimum period of 20 minutes prior to flight. Where it is not possible or it would cause damage to the aircraft or engine if it were to be run over the full range, consult your ConAir Sports service engineer for further advice. During this running period, checks should be made for: abnormal temperatures, excessive vibration, correct full throttle RPM, cable/fuel hose abrasion, unusual noises and abnormal mag drop (dual ignition units). Afterwards the engine and mounts must be thoroughly checked for loose fixings and signs of abrasion of harnesses, hoses, controls and bolt on accessories. Following work involving honing, re-boring cylinders or crankshaft removal, the full Rotax running in procedure must be carried out. Engines must be run within 14 days of service work being carried out in order to distribute the lubricants thoroughly. Where this may not be possible you should consult ConAir Sports for further advice. If you know that the engine is not going to be run for at least 14 days after the service work has been carried out, inform the service engineer so that the necessary actions can be taken to protect the engine. Where ConAir Sports engineers are required to carry out ground running, the aircraft should be provided sufficiently fuelled (with the correct fuel) for all necessary running. If the aircraft is required to be empty, an engineer will request that the aircraft be emptied of fuel in advance.
47. Log Books – It is the engine owners responsibility to ensure that the engine log book is updated for all work carried out to the engine.
48. Regular engine runs and corrosion inhibition – To prevent corrosion within the engine and serious reduction in engine life the engine should be run, until normal operating temperatures are reached, at least once every two weeks. If this is not possible, then we recommend the use of an oil with good inhibiting properties and the propeller should at least be turned through a few revolutions every couple of weeks. If it is anticipated that the engine will not be run for a period of more than a month, then full corrosion inhibition treatment must be followed as per your engine manual.
49. On going maintenance – For continued reliability of your engine, it is necessary for periodic maintenance to be conducted. The latest engine manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, daily inspection and pre-flight checks should be followed. For 2-stroke engines it is also essential that conrod bearing clearance measurements are carried out and recorded every 10 hours in order to be able to predict big end bearing failure. If you are unsure how to carry out conrod bearing clearance checks please consult a ConAir Sports Ltd engineer.
50. Work carried out on site – Site work may be carried out by request. It shall be the customers’ responsibility to ensure adequate access and that the work can be completed without interference from other trades. Site work will be charged in accordance with the special rates in force at the time; any waiting time incurred through events out of our service engineers control, shall be charged extra at the current site rate. It shall be the customers’ responsibility to ensure that adequate public liability insurance is in force to cover our service engineers working on the site, or to arrange for the site to be secured from access by any persons during the work or subsequent test running of engines.
51. Warranty – Service work on Rotax engines is warranted against defective parts or workmanship by ConAir Sports Ltd, for a period of 3 months or 50 hours engine operation. Liability shall be limited to that given by the engine manufacturer. ConAir Sports Ltd shall not be liable if the engine is installed or operated in a manner other than that specified by the engine manufacturer. A completed engine operation log must be presented with any claim for warranty by the purchaser of the service work. ConAir Sports Ltd’s liability in respect of any defect or faulty workmanship is limited to making good by replacement or repair, at its option, the defective item(s). Warranty work will be carried out in our workshop, carriage paid by the purchaser. If warranty work is carried out on site, the purchaser will be responsible for payment of travelling charges at the current rate. The engine presented to ConAir Sports Ltd for a warranty claim must be in the same form as presented for the original job (e.g. removed from the airframe) unless agreed beforehand with the ConAir Sports Ltd service engineer in order to demonstrate a particular problem. Warranty claims shall not be considered by ConAir Sports Ltd unless and until full payment for the services has been made.
52. Free issue components – Free issue items must be supplied to ConAir Sports Ltd fit for purpose and with all necessary fitting instructions (if no fitting instructions are supplied, ConAir Sports will fit the components to the best of their ability and knowledge). ConAir Sports Ltd shall not under any circumstances be held liable for any free issue items supplied by the purchaser of the work or any third party, in respect of failure of components, whether due to faulty goods or poor workmanship by our personnel or our contractors. The purchaser shall be responsible for all payments to make good any damage relating to free issue items. ConAir Sports Ltd not commenting on the suitability of free issue parts does not mean that they are suitable.
53. Consequential loss – ConAir Sports Ltd shall not under any circumstances be held liable for loss, injury or damages to the purchaser or any third party or their property in respect of any claims arising from work carried out by the company. This includes any parts fitted by ConAir Sports Ltd that were “free issue” from the purchaser or any third party. Engine service work is only accepted by ConAir Sports Ltd on the basis that the aircraft to which the engine is fitted is of a type suitable to land safely without damage in the event of an engine failure, and that a forced landing site is available through all stages of flight.
54. Privacy – ConAir Sports Ltd shall not, under any circumstances, be held liable for any claim resulting in the release of any information to a third party, relating to work carried out by ConAir Sports Ltd.

58. Service Bulletins/Modifications – As it would greatly increase the cost of every job to investigate compliance to all relevant service bulletins and modifications, ConAir Sports Ltd will only implement bulletins or modifications as requested by the customer. It is the owners responsibility to ensure that all relevant documentation is completed and registered with the relevant authority.
59. Engine installations in aircraft – It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that any work carried out or any items fitted or installed by ConAir Sports Ltd are in accordance with the aircraft manufacturers or approval requirements. ConAir Sports Ltd is unable to investigate all variants of installations of Rotax engines, and will generally follow instructions issued by the engine manufacturer.
60. Service checklist – Not all items listed in the Service Checklist are included in all services. For example a compression check is included as part of a 200 hour service but not in a 100 hour service, and some items are particular only to certain engines.
61. Non engine service items – Please note that, due to the variation in systems used between aircraft types, the following items that appear in the Rotax service schedule are not included as part of our normal service work as it would not be economical for us to do so: a) Lubricate control cables; b) Balance and track propeller; c) Clean and oil air filter(s); d) Change fuel filter. It may be possible for these to be carried out, but adequate advance warning must be given and additional charges will apply.
