    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 44: Normal Procedures

    NORMAL PROCEDURES GENERAL This section describes the procedures to be adopted for normal operations of the J170-C 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.

    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 53: Brakes

    The brakes of the J170-C use automotive brake fluid. Refer to the J160/J170 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. JP-FM-08...
