????????????? ‘I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CASA HAS IMPOSED LIMITATIONS ON THE AIRCRAFT TO PROTECT PERSONS ON THE GROUND NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATON OF THE AIRCRAFT, UNINFORMED PASSENGERS AND TRAINEE PILOTS. THOSE LIMITATIONS ALSO HELP PASSENGERS AND TRAINEE PILOTS TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT WHETHER TO ACCEPT THE RISK OF FLIGHTS IN THE AIRCRAFT.

????????????? ‘I NOTE CASA’S ADVICE THAT, ALTHOUGH MOST JABIRU ENGINES OPERATE NORMALLY, THERE IS AN ABNORMAL RISK THE ENGINE IN THE AIRCRAFT WILL MALFUNCTION.

????????????? ‘I ACCEPT THE RISK OF BEING INJURED OR KILLED IN THE EVENT OF AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION DURING FLIGHT, NOTING THAT:

‘(A)? THE AIRCRAFT MUST BE FLOWN AWAY FROM PEOPLE ON THE GROUND (AND BUILDINGS), EVEN IF THAT MEANS AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT A LOCATION THAT IS LESS SAFE FOR THAT PURPOSE; AND

‘(B)?? THE SAFETY OF AN EMERGENCY LANDING CANNOT BE GUARANTEED EVEN IF THERE IS A SUITABLE LANDING LOCATION.

????????????? ‘I NOTE CASA’S ADVICE THAT I SHOULD NOT FLY IN THE AIRCRAFT IF I AM NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE HEIGHTENED RISK INVOLVED.

????????????? ‘I ACCEPT THE RISK NOTING THAT THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER IS WORKING TO IDENTIFY AND FIX THE ENGINE ISSUES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

????????????? ‘I AM AWARE THAT CASA REQUIRES MY SIGNATURE ON THIS STATEMENT BEFORE THE FLIGHT MAY COMMENCE.

????????????? ‘SIGNED:????????????????????????????????????????????? DATE:??????????????????????????????????????????????????? ’

But in total fairness you should also read up on the background to the making of? those restrictions and note that they expire automatically in June this year.

Hello all, on paper the jabiru is a great engine but in the field it does have other issues.

Many of you in other parts of the world may not be aware of the very heavy restrictions put in place for the engine operations and manufacture by the CAA in Australia just before Christmas. If you are not already aware of these problems could I suggest a quick Internet search to pull up the relevant details?

You didn't mention........no gear box ,no oil cooler, running at 2x the rpms, more gas all is more weight , not to mention 76 hose connections to support the systems, then there is the 100's of updated rotax issuses. I am sure I missed some pluses also , and we all realize ,each has his own thoughts
Love the combo T & J

I love my Tornado, especially with the Jabiru.? I believe they are a perfect match.? The Jab only burns about 3gph, no oil mixing, no radiator,? runs very strong.? I have worked on both my Jabirus and they are great for the wrench head with some experience who wants to save bundles doing his own work.? The work I did was a re-ring job on both engines due to cylinder corrosion from improper storage and lack of use.? You have to run them or at least turn the prop every week.

My T-II is a great handling plane, can turn on a dime, climbs great, and is very forgiving of crappy landings.? Only downside is they are very pitch sensitive and can scare the crapola out of you on landing if you have not flown one before.

I had the engine quit due to a previous owner using silicone in the fuel tank and landed in a VERY muddy farm field and the plane was completely undamaged, except for needing a thourough cleaning.

?I built my T-S because I got a great deal and wanted the extra room and the bells and whistles that came with it.

The only thing I do not like is the tandem seating, because I think passengers are more at ease when next to you.

I've had a standard on a 582 for 4 years and have very much enjoyed it. Very stable and a great climber. A bit frustrated in a headwind now and the 2 stroke limitations on distance. Has anyone advice for me on converting it to a Jabiru or 912? Is it worth it or a waste of time and effort?

I've been flying a 912 Falcon for a year and am loving it.

When buying I was advised that the flaps are a waste of time and I should get a standard, however when a 912 Falcon came on the market I had to have it.

Supposedly ? the F is slightly faster but if you want fast this is completely the wrong plane as both tootle along at 50 to 60 knots.

I have never used the flaps, there seems to be no point in them. It leaps of the ground like an excited puppy so I don't need them for take off and it lands in a very short space so I don't need them for landing. ? I guess they would be handy if I was trying to do an emergency landing in somebodies garden.

If I was buying I would ignore whether its an Falcon or a standard and concentrate on more important things such as the engine and condition. Either aircraft is a fantastic machine, very safe and predictable. They are als o by aeroplane standards very easy and cheap to maintain. I bought the whole aircraft for less than our group Cessna cost for its annual.

Do take a test flight and get the aircraft checked over before buying it.?
