The piece of paper could be worth several million dollars.It is to provide a warning to the occupant that not only is the aircraft not as safe and an RPT, but it is not as safe as other recreational aircraft, and outs some onlus on to the passenger if you are not negligent.

Whilst common sense may support that suggestion, I wouldn't place to much faith on it in a law court. An analogy could be a "Beware of dangerous dog" sign on the front gate. Whilst it gives a warning, it is also an acknowledgement that you have a dog that is potentially dangerous. So if it bites somebody, guess what........

 

The piece pf paper may provide some protection to CASA, which is more than likely why they require it.

I've seen that posted before, but I haven't seen a convenient sign which includes "dangerous". The ones I've fitted all say "Beware of the dog."

 

I've mentioned before, we lost a PL case through not warning that a racetrack was "dangerous, enter at own risk" then lost another one because we hadn't advised the plaintiff he was entitled to sue us if we were negligent, so we had to add that part as well. The key part we found is that if you meet the definition of negligent, you'll be paying out, and if you have provided a warning, but have not met the definition then you might get off.

Merv, see: http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/a-light-aircraft-crash-landed-in-the-nattai-national-park-after-its-engine-failed-with-two-people-on-board/story-fni0cx12-1227289453945Slight misquote on my part, according to the report he crashed at 3.15, so might have been maybe 10 minutes max. into the flight? Still leaves it damn tight to get say to Lilydale...

 

That report also shows the complete horizontal stabiliser and elevator lying on the (relatively open!) ground, it's amazing the thing didn't go in nose-down vertically, the trees must have caught it completely. Very similar situation to the Wedderburn crash of years ago, though this time the engine stayed on...

Ah, the Telegraph, a journal of repute and truth in Sydney.

There's something else that doesn't hang quite right with me here - and it may just be inaccurate reporting BUT:Apparently, the pilot took off at 1515 to 'go to Melbourne'. The prevailing winds were - around here (near Mittagong), westerly at an average 15 kph; further south, swinging southerly at 15 - 20 kph. I would think one should not have planned on more than about 90 kts ground speed for the trip.

 

Last light getting near Melbourne was 1739 - say, for prudence, 1715 - four hours. You might JUST squeak it in from Camden to Melbourne in four hours at 90 kts ground speed IF you fly the rhumb line - which you cannot do without traversing a LOT of bad area.

Sunset in Melbourne on 2nd April was 7.12 pm so not sure where you got last light as 17.39. Perhaps 19.39?

Asmov "This is the first page of the NTSB search for Jabiru and Jabiru powered aircraft".

 

That is 17 reports in 7 years 2006-2014 presumably from all reasons. Doesn't seem many. How many of the 17 were due to engine?

I dont know, go to the NTSB site and read the reports ? Also check other websites, i am looking now through a Google search for Jabiru aircraft and engine fatalities/failures.

 

There are a lot more out there than you think. Also the 17 reports were only fatalities there were perhaps dozens or hundreds more on the NTSB website that were not fatalities.

Conjecture, and the development of urban myth from an unsupported statement of opinion that refers to a source of information without any actual supportable analysis of the evidence. AKA, 911 conspiracy theories and reference to someone who knew someone's cousin who met a person who knew someone who had heard a man in a bar stating he had been told by someone about the third man on the grassy knoll.

 

I await the decisive evidence from someone who has found evidence in the prophecies of Nostradamus that Jabiru engines would cause a world-wide devastation of people flying in Jabiru-powered aircraft. It MUST be out there..... somewhere....

Dont shoot the messenger, i m just Googling. I am expecting that the NTSB reports i listed are not conjecture and they are STATEMENTS OF FACT, please go and search yourself. http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/index.aspx go down the bottom and enter "Jaburu" in this section

 

Enter your word string below: (Searches both synopsis and full narrative; will slow the query performance) and press SEARCH

 

Then go to the UK CAA website and do the same thing, and i am assuming the ATSB search is similar. Than come back and you will have the facts not some third hand knowledge as you say i have. Its no wonder why people dont post here when you put up something factual and get shot down!

Only one Jabiru in there or am I missing something??

 

No idea if he hit a mountain or ran out of fuel

 

We arent talking engines, the discussion was about survivability of airframes

Never mind the grouch asmol, you will get used to him.

 

Thanks for looking up those figures mate, altho I think we were mainly talking about the jabiru aircraft as apposed to acft with jab power plants.

I am glad to see that they walked away. As we all know there are not a lot of fairy tale endings from aircraft crashes.

When I was told that there had been no fatalities in Jabiru Aircraft some 6 months ago I did a quite exhaustive search.

 

I found 5 fatalities spread throughout Northern America and Europe in (I think it was) the last 5 years.

 

I am not going to redo it now and at the time it was only for my own benefit.

 

Being a firm believer in honesty when I see a boast which in my case seemed almost unbelievable, I tend to get my curious head on.

 

In this case a boast of no fatalities in Australia may be correct but saying that there has never been a fatality in a Jabiru aircraft is not correct according to my research.

Southport flying club, Jabiru aircraft with Jabiru engine double fatality. Hang on, the ATSB might have got it wrong! and its urban myth Oscar ?

 

http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2001/aair/aair200104707.aspx

 

Who comes up with this nonsense of saying nobody has ever died in a Jabiru airframe ? Personally (and i only read a lot) I think its just the slow speeds at arrival that stops people dying, not so much the airframe

For the sake of clarity I have done what AMSOL suggested looked up the NTSB database and READ the summaries. I thought it might help to append the NTSB summaries of probable cause for those fatal accidents he listed. It is interesting to note that although the aircraft listed in these incidents were all fitted with Jabiru engines only two airframes were Jabirus.

 

EDIT N.B I've attached the summaries inside Amsol's quoted post so you'll need to expand his quote to see them. Probably a messy way to do it but... couldn't figure out an easier method. Sorry.

 

To summarise the incidents that AMSOL posted:

 

1. Failed to maintain airspeed during a go around. Non Jab Airframe

 

2. Ejected from aircraft after canopy opened in flight. Non Jab airframe

 

3. Collided with a Turkey Vulture in flight. Non Jab airframe.

 

4. Stall& spin from low altitude. Jab airframe.

 

5. Rapid descent and impact with terrain following undetermined engine failure. Non Jab airframe.

 

6. Low altitude aerodynamic stall. Non Jab Airframe.

 

7. Low altitude stall following cardiac event. Non Jab Airframe.

 

8. Engine failure - Cause undetermined. Non Jab airframe.

 

9. Carb Icing - Failure to apply carb heat. JAB airframe.

 

10. Aerodynamic stall while maneuvering at low altitude. Non Jab airframe.

 

11. Aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident was the loss of engine power due to a clogged fuel screen. Non Jab airframe.

 

12. In-flight separation of both wings due to aileron flutter. Non Jab airframe.

 

13. Failure to maintain aircraft control during initial climb following a loss of engine power. The reason for the power loss was not determined. Non Jab airframe.

 

14. In-flight failure of both wings due to aileron flutter. Non Jab airframe.

 

15. Pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control while maneuvering. Non Jab airframe.

 

16. Both pilots failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering after a loss of engine power for undetermined reasons, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. Non Jab airframe.

 

17. Structural failure of the wings for undetermined reasons. Non Jab airframe.

 

With respect Amsol, the devil is often in the detail. Simply searching "Jabiru" in the database and then cutting and pasting the results that show fatalities caused you to be misled and to then mislead readers here. It happens sometimes.
