Here in the States we get to be our own test pilot for our own 

aircraft.



Is there a requirement for a designated person to test your homebuilt 

aircraft?

Hi John,



for the normal annual C of A the pilot can fly his own stuff and just note 

the readings on the official form.



In my case the Authorities decreed that Mick, as dealer, is the designated 

test pilot because mine will be the first Xtra here fitted with a Jabi 4 

stroke and VG`s and will consequently be the first  to get `type approval`. 

This means that any other planes, and there are several in the last stages 

of building, with the same configuration will be automatically OK. They will 

just need the certificates issued at intervals during building  by the 

inspector who monitors the standard of workmanship.



Mick is giving me a conversion and check out as I have not flown a tail 

dragger for years. Roll on the good weather.



Cheers



Pat

Sorry Pat,

G-CDFA was the first Xtra with Jab 2200 and VG's to gain full UK type 

approval, G-PLAD is the next one though.

In the UK, ALL new kit built aircraft must initially be flown by a suitably 

qualified test pilot and a final test programme conducted, then the A/C can 

be issued with a full permit to fly. At each annual there after can be flown 

by the owner.



Mike

Hi Mike

something else I got wrong. Cant remember it working that way when I built 

the Challenger. I think the dealers pilot just came and gave it a check 

flight, about 30 minutes and I did the rest.



Regarding the recurring loss of power when I flew the other night. This 

morning I drained and changed the fuel, emptied carb bowls, cleaned filters 

and then spent 30 minutes at cruise revs tied to a farm gate post. Engine 

ran faultlessly.

Someone else on my strip in a Cub lost their engine on the approach 

yesterday. Very experienced ex commercial pilot who put it down to icing. 

Perhaps that was my problem
