APPENDIX V – AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
22.1 GENERAL
This section is approved and sets forth each mandatory replacement time, structural
inspection interval and related structural inspection procedures established for the J230-C
aircraft.
22.2 INTERIOR FLAME RETARDANT MAINTENANCE LIMITATIONS
Most materials used in the interior upholstery of the J230-C have been treated with a
flame retardant to meet the flammability requirements of LSA. This treatment must be
renewed after an article has been washed 5 times. Section 4.5.1, UPHOLSTERY
CLEANING – FLAME RETARDANT gives details.
22.3 COMPOSITE INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
As the J230-C’s primary structure is all Fibreglass-Epoxy composite, a degree of specialist
training is required to properly carry out inspections & maintenance of the structure. This
may take the form of an Airworthiness Authority approved Composites Licence or a Jabiru
Approved Certification. Jabiru Aircraft offers training & certification for people wishing to
gain Jabiru approval to inspect & maintain J230-C structures.
Note that this does not include repairs. Repairs of structural parts must be referred to
Jabiru Aircraft.
22.3.1
EXTERNAL PAINT / FINISHING LIMITATIONS
The J230-C is manufactured of a Fibreglass-Epoxy composite which can be weakened by
extreme heat. Because of this, the outer finish is subject to the following limitations:
•
Overall paint colour must be white.
•
Registration markings under the wings must be produced in an outline text style with
line width in the range 18 – 22mm. Markings may be any colour which meets visibility
requirements, including black.
•
Registration markings on vertical surfaces may be produced in a bold text style and
may be any colour which meets visibility requirements, including black. Lines used in
the registration markings may not be more than 22mm wide.
•
Other markings on vertical surfaces, including pinstripes, model identification markings
etc may be applied, but are limited to lighter colours over small areas.
•
Markings of any kind on the upper faces the aircraft (such as the top surfaces of wings,
fuselage and horizontal stabiliser) are not permitted.
22.4 CONTROL SURFACE BALANCING
The J230-C primary control surfaces are balanced during construction. In service there
should be no reason to rebalance the controls. Balance checks of the controls are only
required after repair or refinishing or at the 5000-hourly major airframe inspection.
