Alan,
Where are you located? Are there any experienced Europa folks any where close?
A couple lights will be difficult to determine.
If you have a Rotax 914, the amber light and one of the red lights (probably the
one next to the amber light) are TCU warning lights. They should come on
flashing
when the TCU is powered up. This indicates the TCU is in self test. Then
the lights should go out when the TCU test is complete and all is well. If
they come on during operation, you have a problem. Get or download a copy of
the Rotax operators manual (and all the other Rotax manuals for your engine)
to study up. They are available for download in PDF format from Rotax-Owner.com
and other Rotax support sites.
The red lamp marked "Starter" is probably the starter engaged light. This light
is usually yellow for distinction and so you don't have a bunch of unmarked
red lights. It should come on when the starter is engaged. Purpose is to know
if the starter contactor disengages after engine start.
The red warning light marked as "Engine Warning" may be associated with an
Engine
Information System (perhaps the GRT EIS 400?). If it is, it is a visual
indication
that some engine parameter is out of range. Then you check the EIS for
details. If it is and EIS 400 the bum parameter will be flashing on the screen.
Unmarked red light not associated with starter or TCU is anyones guess. Wire
trace
time.
Understand, these answers are just guesses from personal experience with a
couple
Rotax 914 powered Europas. Could be all wrong with your particular aircraft.
Every Europa has been built by and individual who had to decide how he wanted
his panel to look and function. Often this was done without respect to any
other aircraft. Good luck, get as much documentation as you can for your
aircraft.
