Hi Peter,
All the necessary manuals for the Rotax 914 are available free, without signing
up, from the site: Rotax-Owner.com
But I would highly recommend signing up for full site access. The learning
videos
are very good if you have the internet bandwidth to support them.
I don't have a cure for you because you don't specifically provide the
conditions
in which you have the blinking orange lamp. It is normal for all the TCU lamps
to light and blink on application of power to the system. This indicates
a normal startup system check is occurring and all is well when they all go out.
During operation, this is another matter.
According to the Rotax 914 Operators Manual "Section 4.4.3) Orange caution lamp
of the TCU blinking
In case of blinking of the orange caution lamp of the TCU, this has to be
recorded
by the pilot in the logbook, stating the duration exact time and extent of
exceeding limits.
NOTICE: If the manually controlled variable is not possible, then turn off the
servo motor.
Possible cause: Indicates a failure of a sensor, sensor wiring, TCU, or leakage
in the airbox.
Remedy: Reduce speed and boost pressure manually to be within the operating
limits.
Limited flying operation, as this may indicate the boost pressure control
isno more or insufficiently possible and may affect engine performance."
Can you provide more detailed information about the situation of your blinking
orange light?

Hi Isaac
I was wondering if you eventually found out what this gremlin was, I have
experienced
the exact symptoms, on my 914/Gyro combo. I am in South Africa and my
search seemed to point me to this forum. I would appreciate if you or someone
could post a response to what the cure was.
Kindest regards
rotor-blade
