Keith, It always does that which is a pain and one of the failures of the
design. Mine however has survived 7 yrs of starting without switching it
off.

Subject: Europa-List: Rotax Flydat
On firing the starter motor for the first time to check the oil pressure
after priming the oil system, my Rotax Flydat screen went blank, then after
turning off the starter motor it cycled through the initial start-up screens
twice before returning to the normal display. This happened repeatedly on
running the starter motor.
Can someone with a flydat tell me if this is normal? And if not normal does
it risk damaging the unit if it is caused by sudden voltage changes? Should
it be switched off when starting the engine?
Thanks,
Keith Hickling,
New Zealand.
