6.20 Landing Light(S) (all J-Series)
6.20.1 Description
 Landing / taxi lights are optional equipment for Jabiru Aircraft.
 Night-VFR variants have a wing-strut mounted housing on each wing strut with narrow-beam high
intensity lights fitted. Smaller wide-beam lights are used in similar housings for day-VFR aircraft.
6.20.2 Removal, Inspection & Installation
Required Tools:
Screwdrivers
Stanley knife or Scalpel blade
Parts and Material:
Silicone adhesive (for reinstallation)
Type of Maintenance:
Line Maintenance
Level of Certification:
L1, L2 or LAME (Owner, A&P or LSA Repairman / Maintenance)
 Remove the clamping screw at the trailing edge of the light housing.
 If required, carefully remove silicone adhesive between housing and strut with knife – taking care not
to damage the paint or the light housing.
 Remove the housing from the strut then disconnect the light wires.
 Remove light mounting screws to allow removal of the light from the housing.
 Visually inspect the light housing for cracks or damage. Check the strut for chaffing, wear or
corrosion. Inspect the wires for damage to the insulation, corrosion on the connectors etc.
 For installation, reverse the steps given above. Note that silicone adhesive (or similar) is required to
prevent the housing chaffing on the strut.

Required Tools:
Screwdrivers
Parts and Material:
N/A
Type of Maintenance:
Line Maintenance
Level of Certification:
L1, L2 or LAME (Owner, A&P or LSA Repairman / Maintenance)
 The alignment of lights for aircraft carrying out Night-VFR operations must be checked as a part of
the 100-hourly inspection.
 The lights must be aimed to focus on the ground approximately 15 meters in front of the aircraft.
 Before this procedure is carried out ensure that the wires are connected and each light housing
secure on the wing strut.
 Each housing must have at least one slotted light mounting hole (refer Figure 61). In some cases
both holes must be slotted to achieve proper targeting.
 Note that Figure 61, Left, shows the light during a test fit; the trim ring, internal paint and Aluminium
tape (see Figure 63) have not been fitted yet.
