flight test program

[Jerrytex]

Anyone have a flight test program that they have used to get their airworthiness inspection? Like to to get an idea on wha I need to have in it.

Also I have read that the pitot system has to have been checked or certified. Is this the case and if so, does anyone know how to go about getting that done?

I am in contact with the FAA scheduling my inspection and I want to have all my ducks in a row.

Any other pointers or bits of advice are welcome.

Thanks

Hello JerryTex

If you go to http://www.eaa1000.av.org/technicl/instcal/instcal.htm they explain how to do this. I did my Vixen last year before inspection.

Works great.

Have fun.

the dar that inspected mine never mentioned a pitot test . i had accomplished the pitot test but nothing was documented . as it turned out , it was good that i had done the test , since the surgical tube that connected the pitot tube to the poly hose had rotted . i would have had zero airspeed on first flight . for the test i had access to a manometer which worked good .

These FAA Advisory Circulars contain a wealth of helpful information for builders:

- AC 20-27G (Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft) CLICK HERE


Lotsa other good stuff in the FAA Library if you have patience to sift through it.

Good luck with your inspection!

Thanks for all the info. I have read through the AC's and get the idea of what the flight test is but I'd like to find someone that has a copy of their flight test to see what format was used. I am a little stumped on how to write it all up in a way that makes sense and is in a useable format and also passes muster with the FAA. I hope that makes sense?

my advice, get a hold of the FSDO in YOUR area, or the DAR, and get what they want you to do. Asking someone like me and what I had to do will not do you any good. Your going to have to do what your people want YOU to do. period.

Inspection done! Airworthiness certificate in hand!

Thanks to everyone that helped out with advice and answers.

Hope to have maiden flight next week.
