Jabiru Aircraft J300
Single Piston
The Jabiru J300 is an Australian light sport aircraft built by Jabiru Aircraft in Bundaberg, Queensland, representing one of the most successful homebuilt and factory-built designs to emerge from the antipodes. First flown in the mid-1990s, the J300 is powered by Jabiru's own 3300cc horizontally-opposed four-cylinder engine producing 120 horsepower, giving it a cruise speed around 110 knots and a range exceeding 700 nautical miles on full tanks. The all-composite airframe seats two side-by-side and features a distinctive high wing with excellent visibility, making it popular for both recreational flying and flight training across Australia, Europe, and beyond. The type is certified in multiple categories depending on jurisdiction—ranging from ultralight to light sport aircraft to fully certified VH-registered aircraft in Australia—and has earned a reputation for economical operation and straightforward maintenance, with many examples built from kits by amateur constructors. SkyMeter has tracked 1 flights across 1 airframes and 1 operators, with routes observed.
Safety in context
The incident rate counts flights with ANY safety event detected by SkyMeter — go-arounds (a routine response, not a failure), unstable-approach gate flags (advisory thresholds), rejected takeoffs (the system working as designed), and runway events. It is NOT an accident rate or fatality rate. For accident statistics, refer to the NTSB Aviation Accident Database (USA) or the Aviation Safety Network. See methodology for what each event type measures.
