8.4 AIRCRAFT INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
8.4.1 MANDATORY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Although the applicable regulations in the country of registration of the aircraft may vary the
requirements somewhat, the aircraft will normally be required to undergo a mandatory annual/100
hourly inspection and maintenance in accordance with approved maintenance schedules. In
addition some components, in particular the engine and it's accessories, will be subject to
complete overhaul based on time in service.
Jabiru Aircraft recommend that all Mandatory Inspection and Maintenance Requirements be
conducted in accordance with the details laid out in the Jabiru J160 Technical Manual.
From time to time other mandatory inspections may be required in the light of in service
experience. In this event airworthiness directives relating to the airframe, engine, propeller or
other components/equipment as appropriate will be issued. It is the responsibility of the
owner/operator to ensure compliance with all applicable airworthiness directives and, when the
inspections are repetitive, to take appropriate action to prevent inadvertent non-compliance.
All maintenance carried out must be correctly recorded and certified for in the relevant log books.
8.4.2 PREVENTATIVE MAINT. & MINOR FIELD REPAIR
Depending on the applicable regulations in the country of registration of the aircraft, limited
maintenance and minor repairs may be carried out by a suitably licensed pilot on an aircraft they
own or operate. Reference should be made to the relevant regulations to determine the specific
maintenance operations that are authorised. Although the remainder of this section provides the
majority of the information that should be required by the pilot to enable them to conduct limited
maintenance and minor repairs, it is nevertheless desirable that a copy of the Jabiru J160
Technical Manual be available to the pilot to ensure that proper procedures are followed at all
times or to provide additional details where required.
Where permitted by appropriate regulations, Jabiru Aircraft recommend the following preventative
maintenance:
DAILY:
a.
Check fairings for loose screws.
b.
Carry out daily inspections as detailed in Section 4 of this manual.
c.
Ensure correct tyre pressures to prevent premature wear.
In addition to the preventative maintenance recommendations listed above, the pilot must always
be diligent when carrying out their inspections and be prepared to rectify any defects found to the
extent permitted by the appropriate regulations.
