4.3.4
LOCKS
An optional cylinder and key lock is available. When fitted, the keyed barrel lock is located
in the fuselage at the rear of the Port, Starboard & Rear doors. Spare keys are available
to JABIRU registered owners by quoting the aircraft Serial Number.
4.4
SEATS
The JABIRU seats are an integral part of the structure of the aircraft; they are therefore
fixed in position. Forward and upward adjustment can be achieved by placing a cushion
behind and/or under the occupant. The seat pans incorporate crushable foam which is
essential in providing shock absorption in crash conditions. The seat backs are also
essential to restrain baggage in crash conditions.
WARNING
DO NOT MODIFY SEATS.
4.4.1
REPAIR
As seats are integral to the aircraft structure, any repair must be referred to JABIRU
AIRCRAFT Pty Ltd or our local approved representative.
4.5
UPHOLSTERY
Seat upholstery is provided through slip-on covers. These are easily removed for cleaning
and inspection of the seat structures. Note that the seat covers are treated with a flame
retardant which must be re-applied after every 5 washes.
Optional Hood and Cabin lining is available, together with Door Pockets.
4.5.1
UPHOLSTERY CLEANING – FLAME RETARDANT
The upholstery used in the J230-C has been treated with a flame retardant to meet the
flammability requirements of LSA. This treatment will withstand 5 washes or dry cleans
before requiring re-application. The washing of cabin upholstery must be noted in the
aircraft’s maintenance log book and the flame retardant re-applied by an authorized
person after 5 washes.
4.6
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.
4.7
SAFETY PROVISIONS
4.7.1
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 or stitching is broken.
Attaching parts should be replaced with equivalent parts if excessively worn or defective.
