6.20.1 Description

Landing / taxi lights are optional equipment for Jabiru Aircraft.

Night-VFR variants have a wing-strut mounted housing on each wing strut with narrow-beam high
intensity lights fitted. Smaller wide-beam lights are used in similar housings for day-VFR aircraft.
6.20.2 Removal, Inspection & Installation
Required Tools:
Parts and Material:
Type of Maintenance:
Level of Certification:

Remove the clamping screw at the trailing edge of the light housing.

If required, carefully remove silicone adhesive between housing and strut with knife – taking care not
to damage the paint or the light housing.

Remove the housing from the strut then disconnect the light wires.

Remove light mounting screws to allow removal of the light from the housing.

Visually inspect the light housing for cracks or damage. Check the strut for chaffing, wear or
corrosion. Inspect the wires for damage to the insulation, corrosion on the connectors etc.

For installation, reverse the steps given above. Note that silicone adhesive (or similar) is required to
prevent the housing chaffing on the strut.
6.21 Landing Light Adjustment (Night-Vfr Models) (all J-Series)
Required Tools:
Parts and Material:
Type of Maintenance:
Level of Certification:

The alignment of lights for aircraft carrying out Night-VFR operations must be checked as a part of
the 100-hourly inspection.

The lights must be aimed to focus on the ground approximately 15 meters in front of the aircraft.

Before this procedure is carried out ensure that the wires are connected and each light housing
secure on the wing strut.

Each housing must have at least one slotted light mounting hole (refer Figure 61). In some cases
both holes must be slotted to achieve proper targeting.

Note that Figure 61, Left, shows the light during a test fit; the trim ring, internal paint and Aluminium
tape (see Figure 63) have not been fitted yet.
