Note #2 If temperature limits are reached, shut the engine down or cool it by pointing the
aircraft into wind.
Other limits are as follows:
•
Minimum oil pressure at idle:
80 kPa (11 psi)
•
Maximum oil pressure at start:
525 kPa (76 psi)
2.8 CROSSWIND
The maximum allowable crosswind velocity is dependent on many factors including:
-
Aircraft limitations
-
Pilot capability.
-
Ground conditions
– i.e. turbulence from structures or trees
-
Wind state
– i.e. steady wind or gusting / thermal conditions.
With average pilot technique, steady, direct crosswinds of up to 14 knots can be handled with
safety.
2.9 OTHER CLIMATIC RESTRICTIONS
Maximum Ambient Operating Temperature
38°C (100°F)
Flight into known icing conditions
Prohibited
2.10 KINDS OF OPERATION
The standard J170-D, as detailed within this POH, is approved for Day VFR Operations only

POWER GENERATION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
When the engine is turning at approximately 2000 RPM and above the alternator produces
sufficient power for all lights to be run continuously. However, below this RPM the alternator cannot
produce this power output and power must be drawn from the battery if all electrical systems are
running. To reduce the load on the alternator, Jabiru Aircraft recommend only using the Landing
Light for takeoff and landing
– turning it off during normal cruise operations and wherever safe
while taxiing.

OTHER LIMITATIONS
•
Smoking is prohibited.
•
In-cabin noise levels exceed 95db. Hearing protection must be worn.
