23.1 GENERAL
This section is approved and sets forth each mandatory replacement time, structural inspection
interval and related structural inspection procedures established for the J160-C aircraft.
23.2 INTERIOR FLAME RETARDANT MAINTENANCE LIMITATIONS
Most materials used in the interior upholstery of the J160-C have been treated with a flame
retardant to meet the flammability requirements of CS-VLA. This treatment must be renewed
after an article has been washed 5 times. Section 6.8 gives details.
23.3 COMPOSITE INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
As the J160-C
’s primary structure is all Fibreglass-Epoxy composite, a degree of specialist
training is required to properly carry out inspections & maintenance of the structure. This may
take the form of an Airworthiness Authority approved Composites Licence or a Jabiru Approved
Certification. Jabiru Aircraft offers training & certification for people wishing to gain Jabiru
approval to inspect & maintain J160-C structures.
Note: this does not include repairs. Repairs of structural parts must be referred to Jabiru
Aircraft.
