Little bit dilemma here. The Jabiru manual recommends using NGK spark plug for the engine but NGK says that NGK should NOY be used on aircraft engines. Is this due to legal or secuity reasons or both?

I will be just legal issues, they don't want to get involved in an aircraft accident where the spark plugs may be at fault I am guessing

I just replaced all my spark plugs to the same NGK d9ea and they work great. Some other pilots told me to get a spark plug with R rating due to the fact that it has a resistor to potentially keep radio feedback down but I could not find any locally and I did not want to deviate from the recommended make and model of what is required

I used them in my XAir for years with no issues. ? I figured if Jabiru was ok with them then that was fine. ?

For the same reason, all Rotax engines used to be labelled as “not to be used in aircraft”, or words to that effect.

I have used both the Denso 5373 IX27 and NGK 4772 DR9EIX Iridium plugs on my 2200 without any problem. The Iridium plugs give a much better spark and really help starting - imho!
