I agree Bill...
Its all about Liability !?
I dont ever know of CASA making a Waiver Document
ever before that requires signing by a passenger before
flight ?? Bizarre ? IMO!
I dont like Jabiru engines personally and that's well known based
on my own failures with the engines, those of friends and the
company attitude etc but i dont think CASA did the correct thing
by putting out the notice.
Anyway.... this is an X-Air group and not a Jabiru group, so back
to X-Air's again.

Hopefully
Michael, whatever modifications are made, should a new
instrumernt be issued, will actually be based upon
full analysis of each of the incidents upon which the
November action was based. The
current restrictions certainly were not, because CASA
simply did not have the ability to understake such
analysis, since it had no specific data. Indeed, it does
not itself collect data that would allow it to be done.
There has been an on-going study being undertaken by the
ATSB, a different agency, which was due to issue an
update report in mid-November 2104. ATSB? did releases
that report, shortly after CASA? issued its
restrictions, saying basically that there remained
concern that Jabiru engines appeared to suffer a higher
incidence of failure than competing engines but that
detailed analysis remains to be done to determine the
causes and circumstances of those failures. So, even
ATSB has not completed an analysis.
