Jabiru advertising

[FlyBoy1960]

What's with the latest advertising from Jabiru. I have been noticing it for the last few months but I just can't work out what they are trying to achieve ?

 

Why are they breaking up the word aircraft into 2 different segments ?    Air.  Craft.  ?

 

Are they planning something in the future like Jabiru water. craft, Jabiru rotor. craft  ?

 

Somebody must know the reason, it's doing my head in every time I see it because I think I need to reach out and let them know of their mistake

Sounds like a clever byline to me. Good. Different.

 

I wouldn't sweat it 😊

Maybe they (Jabiru) asked AI for an advertising pitch? Or, maybe it's just a reflection on literacy skills?

it is a bit odd. i think it failed whatever they were trying to convey.

 

on another note, i watched a video on the jabiru twin at oshkosh,  configured for ifr the starting price is $550,000 usd. thats one expensive jabiru.

I’m wondering how useful an endorsement on a Jabiru twin would be.  If you are a CPL and felt you needed a (cheap) twin endorsement, who is going to hire someone to fly legacy twins that did their training in a Jabiru ?  I’m not convinced.

Not bagging the Jab, just the market positioning.

I wonder if counter rotating ? LOL.

Anyway, 2nd hand twins are cheap. I think generally cheaper than high performance singles.

You fly a twin because you want to fly over bass strait at night in cloud ....   And you'd want a casa schedule 5 maintained aircraft i think to make all that effort worthwhile.

You fly a twin if you want redundancy if/when an engine fails . It naturally follows they are More expensive to operate and more difficult to fly. Nev

A well known saying "If an engine fails when flying a twin, the good engine will get you to the crash site".

[facthunter]

That's just silly. Nev

[facthunter]

Modern Twins to be certified, MUST Be able to fly on one engine IF an engine fails above V1. on take off. On cruise it's often just a lower  cruise height.. With a twin you are required to land (in principle) at THE NEAREST suitable AERODROME. How about some facts instead of  a "well known saying". They are Urban Myths. Same as there are only those who have landed gear up and those who will land gear up. NO  REAL pilots talk  this $#!t.. Nev

[Jabiru7252]

Nope, the well known saying was acceptable, so nah nah nah nah nah.....

[RFguy]

Nev, "you are required to land (in principle) at THE NEAREST suitable AERODROME" 
is that in the M.O.S / CAR somewhere  ? Or is that a POH / AFM  requirement  ?

[facthunter]

Look under ETOPS. Also under international law ICAO pilots must operate the Aircraft in the Most SAFE Manner at all times. Nev
