Continental O-200-A

Continental O-200-A is a four-cylinder, naturally aspirated, carbureted piston engine rated at 75 kW (100 hp) at 2750 rpm. Continental current 200-series documentation lists 3.292 L displacement, 98.0 kg dry weight, 7.0:1 compression, and a 2000-hour or 12-year TBO; SIL00-7C identifies O-200-A as factory-rebuilt eligible. This record uses active for current support and rebuilt availability without asserting new production.
