OWNER MAINTENANCE
2.3.1
J230-C
The J230-C has been specifically designed as a simple aircraft which can be maintained
by owners to a large degree. Jabiru Aircraft allows normal maintenance up to 100-hourly
servicing to be carried out by the owner. This includes:
•
Oil & oil filter changes
•
Fuel filter changes
•
Brake pad changes
•
Tyre changes
•
Spark plug changes
•
Normal engine maintenance between 100-hourly maintenance (ie 33 and 66 hour
maintenance). Refer to Engine Maintenance Manual for details.
Every 100 hours or Annually (whichever happens first) a 100-hour inspection must be
inspected by an Authorised Person (such as a LAME. Refer to the RAAus Operations
Manual for RAAus aircraft Australia).
Jabiru Aircraft recommend that any aircraft being used for flight training or any other form
of hire-and-reward operation be maintained by an authorised maintenance person or
organisation.

AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATIONS
Leading particulars of this aircraft, with dimensions based on gross weight, are given in
Figure 1. If these dimensions are used for constructing a hangar or computing clearances,
remember that such factors as tyre pressure, tyre size and load distribution may result in
some dimensions that may be somewhat different from those listed.

CENTRE OF GRAVITY LIMITATIONS
The JABIRU is a very light aircraft. The installation of equipment may significantly alter the
approved CG limits of the aircraft. Therefore, all proposed fixed installations must be
approved by JABIRU AIRCRAFT Pty Ltd or an person authorized to revise an aircraft’s
weight and balance information (such as the holder of a CASA Weight Control Authority)
