Sequence #2
– First flight and rigging tests
Pre-flight
Print and use the Flight Testing form Sequence #2 for each test flight in this sequence.
Recording
Use a kneeboard or clipboard to hold the Flight Test forms and record details of each test
flight, however the first priority must always be to
fly the aircraft so write things down only
when it is safe to do so.
Loading
Load the aircraft with the test pilot and 20 litres of fuel in each wing tank.
If you have followed the instructions in the Testing>Calibrate fuel gauges task you should
already have 20 litres per side at this point, if not then drain or add fuel as required.
Engine Start and Run-up
Start the engine normally, taxi to the run-up area and perform an engine run-up.
Check temperatures and pressures and make sure that the idle is correct when the engine is
warm – it should idle at around 900 rpm.
Pre-take off Checks
Record the date and engine hours as well as the wind direction and strength, the OAT, the
Runway in use and the Pressure Altitude. Set the altimeter back to the local QNH.
Check controls for full and free movement and correct sense – see each control surface
movement. Any sense of controls binding
must be addressed before proceeding.
Listen for traffic and wait for the traffic to clear for first flight. Carry out the pre-takeoff
checks specified in the Owners Manual.
Advise all traffic that a first flight is to be conducted.
