together, the “Guarantees”) by Standard Aero Limited and Not FM Canada Inc. (the “Guarantors”)
under an Indenture dated as of August 20, 2004, as supplemented on August 24, 2004, August 24,
2004, March 3, 2005 and March 31, 2005 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), among the Company,
the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 28, 2005 (File No.

of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to
the contents of the Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein, other than as to

In addition, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as wehave considered appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

Based and relying on the foregoing and subject to the limitations and qualifications and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of such Guarantor.
