Airstart & Limitations
In the event that the engine is stopped during flight, it may be restarted by application of fuel &
ignition, provided that the propeller is still windmilling. The propeller may stop windmilling below 50
KIAS
The Jabiru engine is a high compression engine & therefore airstarts when the propeller has
stopped rotating, without the use of the starter, are unlikely before reaching V
NE
. Therefore, the
following procedure addresses only airstarts by use of the starter motor.
IMPORTANT
– NO NOT depress starter button while propeller is rotating.
1.
Ignition…………………………………………… OFF
2.
Cabin…………………………………………….. CLEAR
3.
Airspeed…………………………………………. REDUCE UNTIL PROPELLER
STOPS TURNING.
4.
Establish Glide………………………………….. 65 KIAS
5.
Fuel………………………………………………. ON
6.
Fuel Pump………………………………………. ON
7.
Master…………………………………………… ON
8.
Ignition Switches……………………………….. ON
9.
Starter Button…………………………………… Depress
10.
Throttle…………………………………………... Open
11. Repeat as necessary, ensuring propeller has stopped before each restart attempt.
Notes:
(a) If engine does not restart commence forced landing procedure.
(b) If clear symptoms of a mechanical failure exist, or if the engine has seized due
to the loss of oil pressure, do not attempt a restart.
(c) If engine operates with only L or R ignition selected, leave the ignition switch in this
position whilst a suitable landing area is selected.
(d) The engine cools quickly with the propeller stopped. Choke may needed to achieve
a start.
