    Jabiru Aircraft SECTION 4 CASA APPROVED Model J160-C NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.5.6 Before Take-Off Warm Up Most of the warm up will have occurred during taxiing and whilst conducting the Before Take-Off checks. The engine is warm enough for take-off when the cylinder head and oil temperatures are in the green arcs.

  • Page 58: Cruise

    4.5.12 Cross Wind Landing The J160-C has been approved for operations in crosswinds of up to 14 Knots. When landing in a strong cross wind use a wing low, crab, or a combination method of drift correction. Avoid a prolonged hold off by allowing the aircraft to settle onto the runway in a slightly nose high and wing low attitude, touching down on the into wind mainwheel first followed by the other mainwheel and then the nose gear in quick succession.
