The 912iS Sport version is being introduced to alleviate a problem encountered in the U.S. market in light sport aircraft, which unlike Europe are limited to fixed pitch propellers. With the new Sport model Rotax indicates more power is being produced by the engine in the 5200 rpm range.

This additional power is providing owners with shorter takeoff runs and better climbout performance. The Rotax 912iS Sport is also reported to give some 30% better fuel economy than the carburated version of the 912 ULS. 

The new Sport model features a larger aluminum air box versus the previous  smaller plastic models. For owners of the 912 iS, Rotax will provide the airbox kit for as an upgrade until the end of October 2014, owners will be responsible for the labor costs involved in the installation. 

Rotax 912iS Sport owners will appreciate the improved take-off-performance which results in a better climb rate and a shorter take-off-run. Owners will also benefit from reduced fuel consumption, lower operating costs and fewer emissions.

The Rotax 912 iS Sport engine automatically improves its fuel efficiency by switching to a lean ECO mode once the throttle is pulled back to a throttle setting below 97% after start and climb phases.
