6.8.4 Repair
As seats are integral to the aircraft structure, any repair must be referred to Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd or
our local approved representative.
6.9
Upholstery (all J-Series)
Seat upholstery is provided through slip-on covers. These are easily removed for cleaning and
inspection of the seat structures.
Optional Hood and Cabin lining is available, together with Door Pockets.
All materials used in the upholstery (with the exception of leather) are treated with a flame retardant
to meet the flammability requirements of CS-VLA. This treatment must be re-applied after every 5
washes. Accordingly, whenever an item of upholstery is washed this must be recorded in the aircraft
logbook.
Note: Flame retardant must be applied by an authorized person using an approved compound.
Details are available from Jabiru Aircraft on request.
6.10 Soundproofing
A curtain of soundproofing material is used at the rear of the cockpit/baggage area. This curtain is
attached to the forward rib of the fuselage using velcro straps. Its purpose is to minimise drumming
of the fuselage as well as restricting material falling aft of the curtain and resulting in a severe aft
centre of gravity condition. The curtain should be in place for all flights.
WARNING
Do not stow items behind the sound curtain.
6.11 Safety Provisions (all J-Series)
6.11.1 Seatbelts
Aircraft grade Seatbelts, bolted to the fuselage structure, are provided for both seats. Belts should
be replaced if frayed or cut, latches are defective of stitching is broken. Attaching parts should be
replaced with equivalent parts if excessively worn or defective.
6.11.2 Carbon Monoxide Detector
Carbon monoxide detectors are mandatory for all aircraft fitted with a cabin heater and strongly
recommended for all other aircraft.
Chemical or “black spot” detectors are used. These detectors have a life which starts from the point
at which the detector is removed from its packaging.
Operators must ensure that, where equipped, the carbon monoxide detector fitted to their aircraft is
within its useful life.
6.11.3 Emergency Beacons
Where emergency beacons are fitted they must be maintained in accordance with their
manufacturer’s instructions.
Beacons typically have a useful life based on the type of battery fitted.
Operators must ensure that, where equipped, the emergency beacon is within its useful life.
Testing of the beacon must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions during
scheduled maintenance.
