INTRODUCTION Section 3 provides checklist and other procedures for coping with emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by aeroplane malfunctions are rare if proper preflight inspections and maintenance are practiced. Enroute weather emergencies can be minimised or eliminated by careful flight planning and good judgement when unexpected weather is encountered. However, should an emergency arise, the basic guidelines outlined in this section should be considered and applied as necessary to correct the problem. 3.2. AIRSPEEDS FOR EMERGENCY OPERATION Engine Failure After Takeoff 80 KIAS Manoeuvring Speed ( at all weights) 91 KIAS Maximum Glide Distance, Still Air 80 KIAS1 Precautionary Landing Approach with Engine Power (FULL FLAP) 65 KIAS Landing Approach Without Engine Power: landing Flaps Up landing Flaps Down 80 KIAS 65 KIAS 1 Note A slightly higher speed may give better distance over the ground if gliding into wind; a slightly lower speed if gliding Section: 3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Publication JP-OM36 Jabiru J430 Owners Manual Section: 3 REVISION 0 Date: Aug 11 Page 3-3 of 12 3.3.

The propeller may stop windmilling below 80 KIAS. 2 Note: A slightly higher speed may give better distance over the ground if gliding into wind; a slightly lower speed if gliding downwind Publication JP-OM36 Jabiru J430 Owners Manual Section: 3 REVISION 0 Date: Aug 11 Page 3-4 of 12 The JABIRU 3300 engine is a high compression (8 : 1) engine & therefore airstarts when the propeller has stopped rotating, without use of starter, are unlikely before reaching VNE. Therefore, the following procedure addresses only airstarts by use of the Starter Motor. IMPORTANT DO NOT depress starter button while propeller is rotating. 1 Ignition Switches OFF 2 Cabin Clear 3 Increase angle of attack & reduce speed (up to & including a stall) until propeller stops rotation 4 Establish Glide 80 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 rotation before each restart attempt. Note: The engine cools quickly with the propeller stopped. Choke may need to be used to start. Publication JP-OM36 Jabiru J430 Owners Manual Section: 3 REVISION 0 Date: Aug 11 Page 3-5 of 12 3.3.2. FIRES  FIRE DURING START ON GROUND 1 Cranking CONTINUE to get a start that would suck the flames and accumulated fuel through the carburettor and into the engine. If engine starts, 2 Power 1500 RPM 3 Fuel OFF & allow engine to empty carburettor 4 Engine Inspect for damage If engine fails to start, 5 Cranking CONTINUE in an effort to obtain a start.

Publication JP-OM36 Jabiru J430 Owners Manual Section: 3 REVISION 0 Date: Aug 11 Page 3-10 of 12 3.3.4. POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS If fuse blows, unload the circuit and replace fuse. If it blows again, continue to next airport and rectify. If main fuse fails, land at the next airport and replace. Run the engine; if the fuse again fails, rectify before continuing flight. 3.3.5. MAXIMUM GLIDE For Minimum Rate of Sink: 80 KIAS For Maximum Distance in Still Air: 80 KIAS To maximise distance achieved into wind, increase glide speed by approximately 1/3 of wind velocity. Glide performance will be improved (if time permits) by stopping propeller windmilling. This can be achieved by slowing below 50 knots. 3.3.6. RECOVERY FROM AN INADVERTENT SPIN Aerobatic manoeuvres, including spins, are prohibited While inadvertent spins are unlikely, should this occur, proceed as follows: 1 Throttle IDLE 2 Ailerons NEUTRALISE 3 Rudder Opposite direction of spin and HOLD ON 4 Just AFTER rudder reaches the stop, move the control stick FORWARD far enough to break the stall. Full down elevator may be required at aft centre of gravity loadings to assure optimum recoveries. 5 HOLD these control inputs until rotation stops. Premature relaxation of control inputs may extend the recovery. 6 As rotation stops, neutralise rudder and make a smooth recovery from the resulting dive Publication JP-OM36 Jabiru J430 Owners Manual Section: 3 REVISION 0 Date: Aug 11 Page 3-11 of 12 3.4. OTHER PROCEDURES 3.4.1. CARBURETTOR HEAT This system serves to prevent the formation of ice within the carburettor, where it primarily forms on the throttle plates in such a manner as to obstruct the airflow, with resultant eventual engine stoppage. Vaporisation of the fuel & expansion of air through the carburettor cause a cooling of the mixture, which can be as much as 15 degrees C below the temperature of the ambient air. This permits moisture in the air to condense and form ice. The first indications of icing are an RPM drop or a drop in manifold pressure. Progressive icing will cause obstruction of the carburettor, which manifests itself in the form of a rough running engine. During this time the smaller volume of air aspirated has richened the mixture. Ice can form more rapidly with partial throttle, due to the lower pressure in the carburettor. At full throttle, the danger is lessened somewhat. Therefore, carburettor heat is not to be used during takeoff or climb, also because it creates a small power loss. IMPORTANT During descent & approach, the carburettor heat should be used because low power settings create low pressures in the induction manifold. In case of a go-around, turn the carburettor heat OFF. Prolonged use of carburettor heat with more than 80% power applied could provoke detonation. When using Carburettor Heat, pull knob to FULL ON. DO NOT use partial Carburettor Heat. Carburetor icing can occur when on the ground, particularly when the aircraft and engine have become damp overnight. Check carburetor heat during power check as normal, prior to lining up on runway close the throttle completely, if a low tick over or engine stoppage occurs ice is present so burn it off with twenty seconds of heat and then test again prior to take off. 3.4.2. IGNITION MALFUNCTION A sudden engine roughness or misfiring is usually evidence of ignition problems. Switching from both ON to alternately switching each system OFF will identify which system is malfunctioning. Switch to the good system and proceed to the nearest airport for repairs. Publication JP-OM36 Jabiru J430 Owners Manual Section: 3 REVISION 0 Date: Aug 11 Page 3-12 of 12 3.4.3. LOW OIL PRESSURE 1 A rapid drop from normal indicated pressure to indication "0” Action Observe for smell of oil Open cabin air vents Observe for signs of spilt oil on cowls, windscreen, wing struts If strong smell of oil and oil appearing on airframe, reduce power to minimum to sustain level flight and proceed to nearest landing area. Be prepared to make an emergency landing enroute, should the engine fail. 2 Gradual reduction in oil pressure below observed normal position: Action: Observe oil temperature indications If oil temperature is higher than normal indications and all other engine functions are normal, proceed to the nearest landing area, land and check oil levels and external oil system for leaks If oil level is low, top-up to full mark on dipstick Allow engine to cool, start engine, run to full power and recheck oil pressure If oil pressure readings are normal, proceed with flight, observing both oil pressure and temperature readings. If, after the run-up check, the oil pressure remains low, have the engine checked by an authorised person.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE 1 Preflight Inspection COMPLETE 2 Seatbelts & Harness ADJUST & LOCK 3 Fuel Shutoff Valve ON 4 Radio/Intercom OFF 5 Brakes TEST & SET Publication JP-OM36 Jabiru J430 Owners Manual Section: 4 REVISION 0 Dated Aug 11 Page 4-7 of 15 4.3.3. STARTING ENGINE - COLD ENGINE. 1 Carburettor Heat COLD 2 Choke ON 3 Throttle CLOSED 4 Fuel Boost Pump ON 5 Propeller Area CLEAR 6 Master Switch ON 7 Ignition Switches ON 8 Start Button PRESS 9 Note: If the engine is cranking below 300 RPM, it will not start As soon as engine is running, throttle back to an idle speed of 900 - 1000 RPM 10 Check all engine instruments for function 11 Choke CLOSED IMPORTANT.Check the engine oil pressure. If you do not see oil pressure within 10 seconds, shut down the engine immediately and determine the cause. 4.3.4. STARTING ENGINE - HOT ENGINE. Proceed as for cold engine above, but eliminate the choke operation 2. Instead, throttle closed. 4.3.5. WARM-UP and FUNCTIONAL CHECK Warm-up the engine with a fast idle of 1000 - 1200 RPM until the oil temperature reaches 50 degrees C. During this phase, the cooling of the cylinder head is insufficient due to reduced airflow across the cylinders. It is therefore advisable not to shorten the warm-up time by running the engine at higher RPM. The aeroplane should be pointed into wind to allow additional cooling air. As soon as the oil reaches 50 degrees C, it is possible to do the run-up.
