Hi XXX,
sure its the usual default to blame the operator and I can assure you that your not the first. If I am doing something wrong then the POH needs amendment, Both my Jabs are fitted with full CHT and EGT monitoring, and the overheating event was indeed a climb out issue where number #4 skyrocketed above 200c with a CFI and an instructor at the controls.


I will paste the history of the J160 from the CASA defect report up for a read.


XXX, I didn't join PPrune to Slag off a company, I have been on here as a viewer since 2011, I retired from the military due an injury after 10 years as an aircraft engineer and 10 as a Pilot, I am working as a LAME at the moment and like to think I know the pointy end of a plane from the blunt.


I posted the info on every website I could find as I believe its a first hand account based on fact, If I save one person from making the same mistake as me then I will be happy.


I'm sure your post wasn't personal, and I respect your objective view but I can assure you I will no longer go along with the factories poor record.
