This document is controlled while it remains on the Jabiru server. Once this no longer applies the document becomes uncontrolled.
As all possible circumstances cannot be listed here, the following is provided as guidance only. A
critical, trained eye is required and inspections should include, but not be limited to, these items.
- Overall undercarriage: check for bent or damaged nuts, bolts etc. Check for damaged spats or
spat mounting hardware.
- Nose leg – check for bends / cracks. Check rubber has not cracked & rubber shaft is straight.
Check nose wheel yoke & nose wheel housing on firewall have not bent.
- Main undercarriage: check inboard and outboard bolts and clamps for damage and security.
Carefully inspect the leg for cracking or other damage.
- Brakes: check for bent discs, loose or damaged hardware. Check security of brake lines – i.e.
they are strapped to the undercarriage leg and are not rubbing against any sharp objects such as
screws etc.
- Fuselage: check structure surrounding undercarriage mount points for damage including de-
lamination, cracking, buckling etc.
- Propeller tip: check for indications of impact.
- Wings: check for free-play at attachments as detailed in Section 5.12.
Where a tripped indicator is found during maintenance it must be recorded in the aircraft logbook.
The indicator must be re-set before the aircraft is returned to service.
If the indicator trips repeatedly it is recommended that the operator contact Jabiru Aircraft or our
representative to determine a suitable program of additional preventative maintenance.
