moy71 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hello everyone. I am trying to get a copy of the Pilot Operating Handbook for Jabiru LSA55. The Jabiru website doesn't appear to have it. Does anyone have an online copy? I will happily pay for photocopying/postage if anyone has a hardcopy of it. Additionally, what are the stall speeds for clean, 1 stage & 2 stage flaps? Any info is very much appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ken deVos Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 moy71, this isn't a POH, but hope this info helps. I cannot remember where I got it from, possibly the WWW around July 2004.

moy71 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thank you so much Ken....these are for all intents and purposes, what I am looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I recently flew one after a ten year break. I'd forgotten the fast approach speed (70+kts) and the tiny rudder, which had me over correcting on approach. Nice aircraft, but get altitude before you get the feel of the controls.

billwoodmason Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Moy71, Which model are you talking about ?. Ken De Vos's above has pictures of a 160/170. These would not be entirely relevant to to earlier (1990's) versions. I have a 1993 LSA that has a POH if that is more what you are looking for albeit that it started life as a J2 not a J3. ( ie 1600cc not 2200cc ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I PM you to see it we can arrange something? - Jabiru can only supply a 120 POH, which is bugger-all use to me.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nong Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I recently flew one after a ten year break. I'd forgotten the fast approach speed (70+kts) and the tiny rudder, which had me over correcting on approach. Nice aircraft, but get altitude before you get the feel of the controls. Seventy+ !!!! You must be kidding. The book speed for short final is 57.....and it works. I have re-trained a few pilots with this error. They tend to say things such as "it's so easy!"

Old Koreelah Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Perhaps 57 near touchdown Nong, but the old one I flew was wallowing too much for me; I needed a safety margin, hence the 70kt approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 It varies so much with your weight and the existing conditions. We shouldn't quote a "speed" tor approach as if it's set in concrete and used at all times. The test is, are you floating excessively and /or landing with weight on the nosewheel ? Do you use some power when needed or make all approaches with an idling engine?. A really slow LSA 55 hasn't a lot of spare control authority, and it sure doesn't like weight on the nosewheel.

trailer Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 This is an old post but hopefully someone has a 55/3j pilot operating handbook online they can upload here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFguy Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 One is in our hangar , will copy for you. although I think it is a /2 (smaller fuel tank) . just remmeber , legal requirement is the PoH for THAT airplane. (IE PoH is serial numbered) but reality might be different. have other doco- (maninenance and construction manual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
