Another Jabiru engine thread

4 out of 5, is a pretty good record for Jabiru

He said 5 out of 6. If I told you once I told you a thousand times don't exagerate.

4 out of five is actually a conservative estimate of what I said. Most Jab owners would happily settle for an eighty percent chance of making TBO if 83.3% was not going to happen for them, wouldn't they?

The worse thing Jabiru ever did was try and pass their engines off as having a 2000 hour TBO

From the Jabiru 2200 Engine Manual, note then use of the word 'recommend'.

 

Jabiru recommend a TBO of 1000 hours of engines to s/n 709. From s/n 710

 

TBO has been extended to 2000 hours with a top end overhaul done at 1000

 

hours, certain conditions do apply for this situation. A Guaranteed Fixed Price

 

Overhaul Plan* is offered with both engines. Contact your regional distributor or

 

Jabiru Aircraft for details. Top End overhauls are also available on later model

 

engines.

 

Given there price, I believe 1000 hrs is fair enough. Especially when you consider schools operating 582's

 

have to replace them every 300 hrs.
