Jabiru airplanes have been identified as higher risk vehicles to consider training in and require special procedures however people still train in these airplanes.

You later clarified with this: "My understanding is that Jabirus still requires some additional procedures when training compared to other aircraft. CASA imposed these due to their perception of risk (rightly or wrongly)"

These statements are misleading.

The main statement was applied to aircraft, when the issue was with some engines.

"have been identified" was fair enough because there were a series of problems.

However you used the current "require" and "Still train in: which are present-time terms.

Jabiru had a run of issues on one engine series which showed up as above average forced landings in the RAA Magazine from about February 2007 to March 2012. Not long after that Jabiru started supplying a new series engine, and the reports dropped away.

I doubt that any any aircraft today would be using the old, affected, engines, so while there would be nothing wrong with checking, it is wrong to brand the Make across the board as "higher risk vehicles".

This also applies to aircraft with Jabiru engines built before the series affected in private ownership.

One personal small fruit fly in my ointment… I have just never been a fan of “side” sticks, I can live with them but… call me a traditionalist but there you are. I think it wouldn’t be hard to offer a  traditional centre stick in the Jab. Simple re-routing of the elevator Bowden and surely a simple bell rank setup for ailerons? Anyhow, the J230 is a great all round package. 

I haven't seen the interior of a J230D, tried to find a photo but couldn't. All I could find was a line which said the centre console was slimmer and gave more interior room. The issue with the J239D's predecessors was there was so much cabling squeezed into the centre consolethat when you set trim prior to takeoff, then opened the throttle for take off the throttle lever would drag the trim lever so you had to reset it in the TO roll. The centre joystick also had a "Y" top which didn't look very Biggles-like.

I would think the side sticks were to clear the log jabm in the centre console and look like the current upmarket aircraft.

Why would it even be an Urban myth?

The official view of the Japanese government was that a bit of smoke & a few dozen bombs around Darwin was nothing more than the ancient practice "burning country" ("By bombing Darlin, we were contlibuting to the cultulal wellbeing of the native popuration" said the Japanese Ambassador at the time), while in Schveden, Greta's grandmother was pretty wound up about what the Germans had been doing (bombs, smoke, mustard gas and chlorine-wise), but more importantly she gave a speech belting up the Allies for selfishly flying so many bombers into Chermany ("And why did you western capitalist pigs need to crash so many of them, just because they were hit by a bit of flack and a few little fighters .... blah, blah, blah?" she added) at the 1943 ........

Well, after reading all these posts I feel very good about wanting to wear a Parachute,  in case my plane comes apart in severe turbulence, don’t see my Thruster liking it at all. 

Talk to your Instructor, get him to let you know which Theory books you need (including MET, so you know where turbulence is likely to be), ask him about getting out of a Drifter with a parachute on. Don't forget that if you decided to fly into RFG's 35 kt headwind you could probably be passed by a girl on a horse and fuel burn would become the No1 issue if you persisted. The Thruster parameters are a lot different to a slippery Jabiru; it flies best in a different sky, but offers experiences Jabiru pilots will never know.

The shortcomings with the lower middle is the effect it has on ramping over lumps bumps and edges off road 

If you don’t need to do this then a 4wd utility is better.
I doubt the safety of 1/2 to 1 tonne of water being towed by the displayed ATV. I have a “tall” ATV and hesitate to tow anything approaching 1/2 tonne.

Tow rating for the Ranger 570 is 680 kg, payload in tray is 420 kg, so not a round bale capacity, ground clearance 279 mm.

That doesn't mean is it suitable for your application; I just picked it at random to show the different weight distribution and occupant protection.

As you say, your application may still require short WB.

Turbs, that is EXACTLY the attitude which explains the drug problem. Yes, I am not effected by it unless you count the extra taxes I pay.

So should I just ignore the whole thing? Many people do just that.

 

Yes you should, it doesn't effect you, you can't do something about it, and the people involved with it will be putting their case.

On the other hand, at home, you need a cross strip unless you only fly when the wind is in the right direction.

Whenever subjects like this come up people start qualifying the risk, or assuming they won't do what someone else did, but Quad bikes are dynamically unstable, and most fatalities are at relatively low speeds rather than at 100 km/hr cruise, and involve weight transfer at the wrong time followed by a roll over or somersault where the bike lands on the person who is crushed to death.

In some cases the issue is dynamic instability due to incorrect weight distribution, and it wouldn't surpise me if someone somewhere has put a 200 litre drum on the small tray at some stage, almost guaranteeing a flip at anything but the mildest throttle.

I covered the $12 million payout public liability case in 2016 in the thread Pulblic Liability, so the days of riding quad bikes without rollover protection are long gone.

What has crept in for farms on older Quad bikes where forward speed is relatively low is a vertical bar which bolts securely on to the tow bar area. It acts like a tractor ROPS in a rear wheel climb over and holds the rear of the quad bike off the ground in a roll over.

Neither roll cage nor pole are safe without a seat belt because both frames can crush you.

The Industry has been moving towards lower, side by side seating which gives the dynamic handling we are familiar with in motor vehicles.

The tray is further forward and only about half takes cantilever loads. I have seen a photo of one with a round bale on the tray, amd that's a bit of a question mark, but this Polaris photo shows where they are going - two people, tools, and a trailer for loads up to 1/2 tonne.

However there were other things to think about because Marky, fearful that the eastern States were going to lunch an attack by allowing people from the East to invade his State in order to get bitten by sharks made a pre-emptive strike under the command of General OneTrack, whose tanks had a bad habit of turning round in circles after he'd taken one of the tracks off to store in his track collection.

I think it possible that this is related to the fact that several unsuitable people ( eg with drug records or having close  relatives with  such ) were coming and going from airports without any controls at all. Aircraft cleaners, for example, could come and go without being searched . It was estimated that their activities provided a major route for drug importation.

 Personally, I refuse to have an ASIC card and avoid going to places where it is required. My main objection is the unnecessary requirement for frequent renewals.

Well you're not affected by it.

Dan and his ruthless Govt realised all too well the major security importance of the Brunys when it came to Victoria's possessions. As a result, Dan and his cohorts were making it an important part of their planning platform to ensure that a takeover of the Brunys was going to be the order of the day in the near future.
