6.4.1 Description
J160-Type cabin doors are those which use the door hinge assembly shown in Figure 37 and the
latch shown in Figure 42. While early J200-family aircraft used a different hinge, later variants are
equipped with “J160-Type” doors.
The doors consist of an outer skin and an inner skin
– both made of fibreglass. The door hinges and
latch mechanism are bonded into the door and an acrylic window is bonded in place during
assembly.
6.4.2 Removal And Installation
Removal of doors is achieved by removing the hinge bolts or removing the machined screws that
attach the hinges to the door frame. Refer to Figure 37 below.
6.4.3 Adjustment
Cabin doors should be adjusted so that the door skin fairs with the fuselage skin.
6.4.4 Door Seals
A weather strip is glued around all edges of the door. Apart from excluding wind and water, the
weather strip is important in minimising exhaust fume entry to the cabin. It should be maintained in
good condition and fit at all times. New weather strip may be applied after mating surfaces of
weather strip and door are clean, dry and free from oil and grease.
6.4.5 Door Locks
An optional cylinder and key lock is available. When fitted, the keyed barrel lock is located in the
fuselage at the rear of the Port, Starboard & Rear doors. Spare keys are available to registered
owners on request to Jabiru or our local authorized representative.

J160-Type Cabin Door Latches (all J-Series, n/a J200/J400)
6.5.1 Description
There is one main latch on each door of a simple spring type. This is complemented by a catch at
the top front quadrant of each door. An assembly drawing of the latch mechanism is provided as
Figure 42 below while the door-top latch is shown as Figure 43.
6.5.2 Removal And Installation
Disassembly and removal of the main latch requires cutting or drilling into the door skins to allow the
removal of the locking pins.
6.5.3 Adjustment
Door latches or their component parts must be replaced if worn or damaged.
