Pilot Operating Handbook

INTRODUCTION

This Operating Handbook has been prepared to comply with the requirements of ASTM F2245.

This Operating Handbook includes the information required of the Flight Training Supplement.

The basic handbook provides all the information, procedures and limitations required to operate the aircraft as a Light Sport Aircraft. Information, procedures and limitations relating specifically to other operations are provided in the appropriate supplement.

The operating procedures presented herein are the result of Jabiru Aircraft’s knowledge and experience gained up to the date of issue or amendment of this handbook. The handbook is not intended to be a guide for basic flight instruction or as a training manual. It may be used for operational purposes only if kept in a fully amended state. It contains all the information considered necessary to safely operate the aircraft.

The operator must be thoroughly familiar with the aircraft and the contents of this handbook before initial operation. Thereafter the handbook should be reviewed periodically to enable the operator to maintain the highest level of familiarity with the aircraft, its controls and recommended operating procedures.

Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH)

The handbook is valid only for the particular aircraft identified on the AIRCRAFT

PARTICULARS page, and unless subsequently amended, refers to the aircraft as originally delivered from the factory. The handbook consists of the following:

Basic POH

The basic POH provides all required details of the standard aircraft and the procedures required to operate it in the LSA category. Apart from the listing in Section 4, no other details of any optional equipment fitted at the factory will be found in the basic POH. Refer to the relevant supplement.

Supplements

Self contained supplements are provided in SECTION 10 of the POH to provide details and procedures associated with the fitment of specified optional and special purpose equipment.

Amendments

General Airspeed Terminology and Symbols

• CAS Calibrated Airspeed: the indicated speed of an aircraft corrected for position and instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level.

• KCAS:

• IAS

Calibrated Airspeed expressed in knots.

Indicated Airspeed: the speed of an aircraft as shown on the airspeed indicator. IAS values in this manual assume zero instrument error.

Indicated Airspeed expressed in knots. • KIAS

• TAS

•

T.O.S.S

True Air Speed: the airspeed of an aircraft relative to the undisturbed air through which it passes.

Take-Off Safety Speed: the airspeed chosen to ensure that adequate control will exist under all conditions, including turbulence and sudden and complete engine failure during the climb after take-off. It is the speed required at 50 feet.

Manoeuvring Speed: the maximum speed at which application of full available aerodynamic control will not damage or overstress the aircraft.

JP-FM-09 Revision: 0 12 April 2007 Page 8

Jabiru Aircraft

Model J230-D

Pilot Operating Handbook

•

Maximum Flap Extended Speed: the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position.

Never Exceed Speed: the limiting airspeed that may not be exceeded at any time.

Maximum Structural Cruising Speed: the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air and then only with caution.

•

Stalling Speed: or the minimum steady flight speed at which the aircraft is controllable.

Stalling Speed: or the minimum steady flight speed at which the aircraft is controllable in the landing configuration.

• V

Best Angle-of-Climb Speed: the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain of altitude in the shortest possible horizontal distance.

• V

Best Rate-of-Climb Speed: the airspeed which delivers the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible time.

Meteorological Terminology

• OAT – Outside Air Temperature – the outside free air static temperature.

• Airfield Pressure Height – The height registered at the surface of an aerodrome by an altimeter with the pressure sub-scale set to 1013 hPa (29.92 inches Hg).

• Pressure Altitude – Altitude measured from standard sea-level pressure (1013 hPa/29.92 inches Hg) by a pressure or barometric altimeter corrected for position and instrument error.

• Indicated Pressure Altitude – the altitude actually read from an altimeter when the pressure barometric sub-scale has been set to 1013 hPa (29.92 inches Hg).

• QNH – The local pressure setting that if set on the subscale of an altimeter will cause the altimeter to indicate local altitude above mean sea level.

• Wind – The wind velocities to be used as variables on aircraft performance are to be understood as the headwind or tail wind components of the reported winds.

Aircraft Performance and Flight Planning Terminology

• Climb Gradient – The ratio of the change in height during a climb, to the horizontal distance travelled.

• Demonstrated Crosswind Component – The crosswind component, during take-off and landing, for which adequate control of aircraft was actually demonstrated during certification tests.

Weight and Balance Terminology

• Datum – An imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes.

• Station – A location along the aircraft fuselage usually given in terms of distance from the reference datum.

• Arm – The horizontal distance from the reference datum to the centre of gravity (C of G) of an item.

• Moment – The product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm.

• Index Unit – Moment divided by a constant. Used to simplify balance calculations by reducing the number of digits.

• Centre of Gravity (C of G) – The point at which an aircraft would balance if suspended.

The distance from the C of G to the reference datum can be found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the aircraft.

• C of G Arm – The arm obtained by adding the aircraft's individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight.

• C of G Limits – The extreme centre of gravity locations within which the aircraft must be operated at a given weight.

• Useable Fuel – The quantity of fuel available for flight planning purposes.

• Unusable Fuel – The quantity of fuel (determined under adverse fuel flow conditions) that is not available for flight.

• Empty Weight – Weight of aircraft with unusable fuel and full oil.

• Useful Load – Difference between take-off weight, and basic empty weight.

• Maximum Take-Off Weight – Maximum weight approved for take-off.

• Maximum Landing Weight – Maximum weight approved for the landing.

• Header Tank – Fuel tank plumbed between the wing tanks and the engine. Also known as

Collector Tank or Sump Tank.

• MOGAS with minimum Octane Rating of 95 RON may be used.

• Do not use fuel additives such as Octane Boosters.

NOTE

As there are significant variations possible even between automotive fuels with the same values of RON, Jabiru Aircraft strongly recommend using AVGAS. Automotive fuels should only be used where AVGAS is not available, and if used, must have the highest anti-detonation rating practically available.

CAUTION

Fuel additives containing alcohol (i.e. Ethanol etc) will damage the sealant used in the fuel tanks.

DO NOT use MOGAS with any level of added alcohol.

3.9 EFIS & EMS LIMITATIONS DISPLAY

Where aircraft are equipped with EFIS or EMS displays, they are programmed to display limitations and alarms etc as a part of their installation into the aircraft. These limitations must be displayed for the aircraft to comply with it’s certification basis. If adjustments are required to the displays the work must be carried out before further flight by an authorised person with reference to the user manuals for the instruments, and the following lists give the minimum information which must be displayed.

3.9.1 Required EFIS limitation displays:

• Never exceed speed, V

(Red line speed, top of yellow arc)

• Maximum structural cruising speed, V

(Top of green arc, bottom of yellow arc)

• Maximum Flap Extension speed, V

(Top of white arc)

• Stall speed with full flap, V

• Minimum System Voltage (Bottom of green arc)

• Maximum System Voltage (top of green arc)

Note

The display of these limitations are required for the aircraft’s certification, and it does not comply with the certification basis if these limits are missing or modified.

3.10 POWER GENERATION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

When the engine is turning at approximately 2000 RPM and above the alternator produces sufficient power for all lights to be run continuously. However, below this RPM the alternator cannot produce this power output and power must be drawn from the battery if all electrical systems are running. To reduce the load on the alternator, Jabiru Aircraft recommend only using the Landing Light for takeoff and landing – turning it off during normal cruise operations and wherever safe while taxiing.

3.11 OTHER LIMITATIONS

• Smoking is prohibited.

• In-cabin noise levels exceed 95db. Hearing protection must be worn.

4.4 TRIM SHEETS

The trim sheets included below, when used correctly, provide a means of calculating the aircraft weight and CG position without manual calculations. An example of using the sheet is included for reference.

4.4.1 Calculate Aircraft Weights

1-1 Use the Aircraft Empty Weight obtained from the latest aircraft weighing records to enter the vertical “Aircraft Empty Weight Scale” on the lower right hand side of the

1-2

1-3 chart.

Move horizontally to the left into the next scale which is the “Crew Weight” Scale.

Move vertically downward one line on this scale for each 10-kg of weight that is placed on the front seats, and mark a point.

1-4

1-5

1-6

Move horizontally to the left from the point made in Step 1-3 to enter the next scale which is the “Baggage Weight” Scale.

Move vertically downward one line on this scale for each 5-kg of weight that is placed in either Baggage Zone and mark a point – i.e. if 10kg is placed in Zone A and 5 kg in Zone B then move down 3 lines (15kg).

Move horizontally to the left from the point made in Step 1-5 to enter the next scale which is the “Fuel Quantity” Scale and mark a point, This point is the “Zero Fuel

Weight Reference Point”

1-7

1-8

1-9

Move Horizontally to the left of the “Zero Fuel Reference Point” and Mark a “Zero

Fuel Weight Line” across the “Aircraft Trim Condition” Graph.

From the “Zero Fuel Point” on the “Fuel Quantity Scale” (marked in Step 1-6), move vertically downward one line for each 10litres of fuel being carried at the take-off condition. Mark this “Take-Off Fuel Point” on the scale.

Move horizontally to the left, and mark a “Take-Off Fuel Weight Line” across the

“Aircraft Trim Condition” graph.

Take the calculated Empty Weight Trim Index and mark it’s position on the Aircraft

Index Units Ladder at the top of the sheet.

Draw a vertical line down from the point marked above to intersect with a sloping line in the “Baggage Zone A” scale and mark this point.

Calculate the weight of the baggage in Zone A and round this value to the nearest 5kg.

Move horizontally to the right from the point marked in Step 2-2 one line for each 10kg of load calculated. (i.e. 10-kg = 2 lines) and mark a point at this location.

Draw a vertical line down from the point marked above to intersect with a sloping line in the “Baggage Zone B” scale and mark this point.

Calculate the weight that will be placed in Zone B and round this value to the nearest

5-kg.

Move horizontally to the right from the point marked in Step 2-5 one line for each 5kg of load calculated. (i.e. 20-kg = 4 lines) and mark a point at this location.

2-8

2-9

2-10

2-11

Drop a vertical line down from the point marked in Step 2-10 to intersect a sloping line in “Fuel Chart”, and mark a point at this location.

Continue the Vertical Line began in Step 2-8 down to intersect with the “Zero Fuel

Weight Line” drawn in Step 1-7. mark this point as the “ZERO FUEL Condition”

Move horizontally to the right from the point marked in Step 2-8 in the “Take-Off Fuel

Box”, one line for each 10 litres of take-off fuel, and mark this point.

Move vertically downward from the take-off fuel point marked in Step 2-10 to intersect with the “Take-Off Fuel Weight Line” marked in Step 1-9. Mark this point the “Take-Off Condition”

Note: As the crew are located in the aircraft very close to the CG datum their index value - weight x arm - is very low and so is not entered into the trimsheet. However, the weight of the crew still has a strong effect on the aircraft’s CG position & this is accounted for by including their weight in the aircraft weight calculations.

4.4.3 Allowable Loading Conditions

An allowable loading condition exists when both the “Zero Fuel Condition”, and the “Take-Off

Condition” fall with the area bounded by the Line in the Aircraft Trim Conditions Box.

For reference, the example below shows two 80kg people, 10kg in Baggage Zone A, 5 kg in

Baggage Zone B and 50L of fuel. The aircraft’s starting Index Unit is 56 at 360kg.

6 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

This section describes the procedures to be adopted in the event of an emergency or abnormal situation occurring in the J230-D aircraft.

The procedures are arranged in the sequence considered to be the most desirable in the majority of cases. Steps should be performed in the order listed unless good reasons for deviation exist.

It should be remembered however, that all conceivable eventualities cannot be foreseen by the manufacturer. Particular circumstances such as multiple or unanticipated emergencies, adverse weather etc. may require modification to these procedures. A thorough knowledge of the aircraft and its systems is essential to analyse the situation correctly and determine the best course of action in any particular circumstance.

The following basic rules apply to all aircraft emergencies:

1. Maintain Aircraft Control.

2. Analyse the situation and take appropriate action.

3. Land as soon as practicable.

6.1 AIRSPEEDS FOR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS

Maximum Glide ……………………………………………. 65 KIAS*

Landing Without Engine Power (Flaps Full) …………… 65 KIAS

* - A slightly higher speed may give better distance over the ground if gliding into wind; a slightly slower speed if gliding downwind.

9. Airstart…………………………………………… ATTEMPT IF PROP STOPPED

* - A slightly higher speed may give better distance over the ground if gliding into wind; a slightly slower speed if gliding downwind.

6.2.2 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

. 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.

6.2.5

Carburettor Icing

If Carburettor icing is suspected:

1. Throttle .......................................................FULL

2. CARB HEAT...............................................FULL ON

NOTE

Carburettor heat may be used at any power setting, but will result in a slight power loss. When icing is eliminated, return CARB HEAT to OFF. Carburettor heat should not be used for takeoffs.

Maintain carburettor heat in ON position for a minimum of 1 minute to allow all ice to melt.

Carburettor heat may be used on the ground except during take-off.

CAUTION

6.2.6

Do not use partial carburettor heat as this may exacerbate ice accretion.

Fuel Low Pressure Warning Light Illuminates Continuously

If fuel low pressure warning light illuminates Continuously:

1. Throttle .......................................................Reduce to approx 2400RPM

2. Fuel gauges................................................Check level. Fly aircraft with the wing

with the most fuel above the other.

3. Precautionary Landing................................As soon as safe

NOTE

Due to the types of fuel pumps used, it is normal for the fuel pressure warning light to flicker at times during flight. The procedure outlined above should only be used where the light is ON consistently for 60 seconds or longer.

6.2.7 Landing With a Flat Main Tyre

1. Landing Area ..............................................SUITABLE

2. Approach ....................................................NORMAL

3. Wing Flaps .................................................FULL DOWN

4. Touchdown.................................................GOOD TYRE(S) FIRST, hold aircraft off flat tyre as long as possible with aileron and/or elevator control

5. Ignition........................................................OFF

6. Fuel Shutoff Valve ......................................OFF

7. Master Switch.............................................OFF

6.2.8 Inadvertent Icing Encounter

Flight into known icing conditions is prohibited. If icing is inadvertently encountered, change flight level or turn back to obtain an outside air temperature less conducive to icing.

6.2.9 Electrical Power Supply System Malfunctions

Alternator Failure

1. Non-essential electrical equipment .............OFF

2. Land ...........................................................AS SOON AS PRACTICAL

JP-FM-09 Revision: 0 12 April 2007 Page 41

Jabiru Aircraft Pilot Operating Handbook

Model J230-D

Alternator failure is indicated by the illumination of the “CHG FAIL” light on the instrument panel.

While the Jabiru engine does not require external power to run, power consumption by the radio, transponder and other electrical systems will eventually discharge the battery.

6.2.10 Spins

Intentional spins are prohibited in this aircraft. Should an inadvertent spin occur, the following recovery procedure should be used:

1. Retard the throttle to idle

2. Centralise ailerons

3. Apply and hold full rudder opposite to the direction of rotation

4. Move stick progressively forward far enough to break stall

5. Hold these control inputs until rotation stops

6. As rotation stops, centralise rudder and make a positive, smooth recovery from the resulting dive

WARNING

If the spin is encountered with flaps extended, DO NOT retract flaps until rotation ceases.

Premature flap retraction will delay recovery.

10. “Pulling Through” The Engine

Before the first flight of the day the engine must be “pulled through” by hand. This is the process of turning the engine over by turning the propeller by hand. The compression of each cylinder in turn will be felt a resistance as the propeller is turned. The engine should be rotated for a count of at least 8 compressions.

Ignitions.....................................................OFF

Throttle......................................................Closed

Propeller....................................................TURN by hand & observe engine for odd noises or heavy movements. Check for regular compression.

CAUTION:

Prior to pulling through the propeller by hand, the engine must be cold, both ignition circuits & the

Master Switch must be switched OFF, the brakes applied & throttle closed.

WARNING

A hot engine may fire with the ignition/s switched OFF.

DO NOT pull through a hot engine.

CAUTION

Several causes of irregular compression – such as poorly sealing valves – can lead to extensive engine damage if not addressed. The Jabiru 3300 Engine Instruction & Maintenance Manual provides additional details.

Power ...................................................... APPROX 1500 RPM

Airspeed .................................................. 55 KIAS

Touch-down............................................. AT TARGET POINT. Wheel brakes are the best way to slow the aircraft. Touching down positively and slightly fast then braking heavily will give shortest landing distances.

Power ...................................................... IDLE

Brakes ..................................................... HEAVY. DO NOT LOCK WHEELS.

NOTE

Short field landings are potentially high risk manoeuvres. Reducing approach speeds and approaching under power reduce the aircraft’s safety margins, especially in a wind gust or if the engine fails. Where possible, they should only be attempted in good conditions. If students are being taught short field landings the weather conditions must be appropriate and a displaced threshold used.

NOTE

After heavy braking such as that required for a short field landing brake temperatures will rise dramatically and afterwards brake effectiveness may be significantly reduced.

7.6.14 Engine Management – Ground Running

Pilot Operating Handbook

The 3300A engine fitted to the J230-D is cooled by air flowing over the engine and oil cooler.

During ground running care must be taken to ensure that there is adequate airflow and that safe engine temperatures are maintained. The guidelines presented below will assist in controlling temperatures.

• Minimise ground running times – especially in hot weather

• Carry out as many checks as possible before starting the engine.

• Always carry out engine run-up tests with the aircraft pointing into wind.

• In hot weather, after performing run-up checks, leave the aircraft pointing into wind and idling at 1200rpm for 30 seconds to aid cooling.

• If the aircraft is required to wait – such as for runway clearance – temperatures must be monitored, and if they approach ground running limits (listed in Section 3 of this flight manual & displayed as yellow markings on engine gauges) the aircraft must be turned into wind or shut down to prevent any further temperature increase.

• Wind must be coming from within approximately 45° of the aircraft heading to be effective in aiding engine cooling.

• If there is no wind or low wind the engine must be shut down if ground-running temperature limits are reached.

30°C and above
