Stock Flight Systems introduces Engine Management Unit for the new
Rotax® 915 iS aircraft engine
Oshkosh, Wisconsin (July, 22th, 2015) –
Stock Flight Systems and RS Aerotech
introduced the Engine Management Unit
for BRP’s new Rotax® 915iS aero engine.
The 4-cylinder, 136HP engine was officially announced to OEMs, media and
distributors Airventure Oshkosh 2015, with deliveries envisaged for the second half of 2017.
Being the inventor of the CANaerospace
data bus protocol used with the Rotax®
aero engines since the 912iS, Michael
Stock was involved in the definition of the data bus interface for the new engine,
which now provides some advanced features for enhanced multi engine support
and maintenance data.
The EMU 915iS of Stock Flight Systems and RS Aerotech communicates with the redundant CANaerospace data bus interface of the ECU and provides the pilot with all engine indications. The functionality includes continuous monitoring of the network health status, and the indication of all ECU generated warning and status messages. An optional fuel pressure sensor is included in the data display, and single lever operation is supported using an MT Propeller and governor.
The EMU 915iS Engine Management Unit uses the same hardware as the EMU 912iS for the nonturbo engine, which can be software upgraded to support the turbocharged 915. It provides the pilot with all engine indications, provides continuous monitoring of the network health status, and the indication of all ECU generated warning and status messages.
Using the advanced flight data recording and post processing capabilities of the EMU 915iS, engine trend monitoring now becomes reality for light sport aircraft engines. 
The EMU software automatically records all ECU messages transmitted on the Rotax® 915iS CANaerospace networks for the entire engine lifetime. An integrated, front panel accessible SDHC interface is used for data storage, system configuration information and software upgrades. Included with the EMU 915iS is the Engine Monitoring Debriefing System (EMDS) software, a powerful toolbox which uses the
data files recorded on the EMU 915iS SDHC card.
The 4Hz GPS/Galileo sensor of the EMU 915iS adds time correlated satellite data to the engine data recording, allowing to generate performance data from the combination of engine data with position, ground speed, height and time. Flight paths together with engine data can be visualized using Google Earth.
