Airstart & Limitations - Jabiru J170-D 2020 Pilot Operating Handbook

3.3.2 Airstart & Limitations
In the event that the engine is stopped during flight, it may be restarted by application of fuel &
ignition, provided that the propeller is still windmilling. 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
following procedure addresses only airstarts by use of the starter motor.
IMPORTANT – NO NOT depress starter button while propeller is rotating.

11. Repeat as necessary, ensuring propeller has stopped before each restart attempt.
Notes: (a) If engine does not restart commence forced landing procedure.
(b) If clear symptoms of a mechanical failure exist, or if the engine has seized due
to the loss of oil pressure, do not attempt a restart.
(c) If engine operates with only L or R ignition selected, leave the ignition switch in this
position whilst a suitable landing area is selected.
(d) The engine cools quickly with the propeller stopped. Choke may needed to achieve
a start.
