At intervals of 5000 hours the Jabiru (all models) airframe must be subject to an overall condition
inspection by Jabiru Aircraft or an aircraft maintainer authorised by Jabiru Aircraft. As part of this
inspection, wing struts must be disassembled, inspected for damage using appropriate NDT methods

Control cables for all aircraft are subject to the inspection and replacement requirements detailed in

All flexible hoses in the engine compartment should be replaced at engine overhaul or every 2 years
whichever comes first. Hoses which show visible deterioration (cracking, excessive hardening) must
be replaced immediately, irrespective of age.
