Service Bulletin (S.B.) is a notice to an aircraft owner/operator from a manufacturer informing him/her of a product improvement. An alert service bulletin is issued when an unsafe condition shows up that the manufacturer believes to be safety-related as opposed to a mere improvement of a product.

Rotary Airforce South Africa issues service bulletins/letters because we believe compliance will make our products safer.

For the latest service bulletins please send an email to orders@rafsa.co.za.  Service Bulletins from Product Notice 1 to 46 can be purchased online from our website under the “Manuals” page.

Please note:

The Owner/ Operator is responsible for the Airworthiness of his/her RAF 2000 Gyroplane and should this be “outsourced” or the owner choose to delegate this responsiblity, it still remains the owner/operator’s responsibility to ensure that Original Equipment Manufacturer parts and components have been installed and that the correct procedures are followed and that there is no deviation from the instructions set by the Manufacturer.

On completion of the work/installation the authorized person, owner of the aircraft, and or certifying inspector must record details of work/installation in the aircraft’s maintenance logbook.  This note should include details of the work done, the date, and the identity (including license number where appropriate) of the person carrying out the work.  It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to ensure that all the applicable logbooks have been completed, signed and certified.

Please note that the product notices issued prior to 2019 have been re-issued with Service Bulletin Numbers, we have documented both the Product Notice number and Service Bulletin number for ease of reference.

Also note that we no longer support the EJ22 Subaru carburator models and upgrades to the Fuel Injection model is required.  Contact the factory for more information.
