CASA has implemented a draft proposal to try and resolve issues after numerous Jabiru engine failures in a variety of aircraft
Some of the proposals are:-
1. only permit operations by day under VFR
4. prohibit the carriage of passengers
5. prohibit the use by solo student pilots

"CASA is responding to a high, and increasing, rate of engine failures among aircraft that are powered by engines manufactured by, or under licence from, Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd"
