F2-2
Section F2 - Flight Test Card - Flight #2 Aircraft Registration:___________
FLIGHT PROCEDURE (continued):
Set altimeter to 29.92 in Hg.
Full throttle climb performance check at 75 kt IAS. Begin filling in table when stabilized at 75 kt
IAS. Airspeed must be held between 73 kt and 77 kt IAS for accurate results.
NOTE: Data recording for this task can be accomplished by extracting data from EFIS data log.

Balked landing/throttle response check:
With the airplane trimmed for steady flight at 55 kt IAS with power at idle, quickly advance the
throttle (as would be the case in a "go-around" or balked landing) and re-trim for full throttle climb
at 60 kt IAS. Perform this test a minimum of three times.

Verify that engine powers-up smoothly each time upon rapid application of full throttle
(Optional) Autopilot Servo Calibration

Calibrate Autopilot Servos per the Autopilot manufacturer’s instructions.

Autopilot check (LVL, Heading, Alt Hold, VS, AP Disconnect)

Autopilot Control Head check (if installed) VS, Heading, LVL, altitude capture, GPS tracking.
Descend to 7500 ft density altitude, set throttle to 5000 RPM establish level flight. Allow airspeed
to stabilize. Fly a 4-way speed box and fill in table.
(Optional: This may be accomplished using the autopilot.)
NOTE: Data recording for this task can be accomplished by extracting data from EFIS data log.
