    EMERGENCY PROCEDURES This section describes the procedures to be adopted in the event of an emergency or abnormal situation occurring in the J230-D aircraft. The procedures are arranged in the sequence considered to be the most desirable in the majority of cases.

  • Page 38: Airstart & Limitations

    The propeller may stop windmilling below 50 KIAS The Jabiru engine is a high compression engine & therefore airstarts when the propeller has stopped rotating, without the use of the starter, are unlikely before reaching V .

When icing is eliminated, return CARB HEAT to OFF. Carburettor heat should not be used for take- offs.

  • Page 42: Spins

    Alternator failure is indicated by the illumination of the “CHG FAIL” light on the instrument panel. While the Jabiru engine does not require external power to run, power consumption by the radio, transponder and other electrical systems will eventually discharge the battery.

  • Page 43: Normal Procedures

    NORMAL PROCEDURES GENERAL This section describes the procedures to be adopted for normal operations of the J230-D aircraft. The procedures are arranged in the sequence considered to be the most desirable and therefore steps should be performed in the order listed unless good reasons for a deviation exist. The lists below include checks for all optional equipment, so checks that do not apply to this aircraft may be skipped.

  • Page 50: Engine Management - Ground Running

    Engine Management – Ground Running The 3300A engine fitted to the J230-D is cooled by air flowing over the engine and oil cooler. During ground running care must be taken to ensure that there is adequate airflow and that safe engine temperatures are maintained.

    As there are significant variations possible even between automotive fuels with the same values of RON, Jabiru Aircraft strongly recommend using AVGAS. Automotive fuels should only be used where AVGAS is not available, and if used, must have the highest anti-detonation rating practically available.

  • Page 52: Brakes

    Pilot Operating Handbook Model J230-D 8.3 BRAKES The brakes of the J230-D use automotive brake fluid. Refer to the J230 Technical manual for details of appropriate brake fluid specifications. WARNING: The JABIRU uses automotive brake fluid (DOT 3 or DOT 4). DO NOT use Aircraft hydraulic fluid (mineral based) or damage to the brake system will result.
