Thumbs down

I would not put my wife in kids in an aircraft with a Jab engine, even with me driving it. Sad to see this happen to an Australian aircraft manufacture. In this case I believe CASA do have a legitimate reason to think about placing restrictions on the engines until the manufacture can come up with a suitable fix, which I doubt will happen unfortunately. Forget the stats, there is way to much evidence to convince me that the engines are unreliable, and I'm certain that there is a heap more engine malfunction events that haven't been reported.
