Revision Release Codes
001 Preliminary Issue of POH, issued October 27, 1999 after completion of the
FAA airworthiness inspection
002 Issued after 5 hours test flight time
003 Issued on November 16th, 1999 after completion of test pilot’s full testing phase.
This issue is for the most part complete and contains typographical errors as well as content
omissions. The next release of the POH should be a practical final release.
004 Issued January 3rd, 2000 after the test pilot had a hard landing resulting from a full
flaps high angle climbout with a (simulated) engine failure. This was an effort to expand the
operational flight envelop of the aiplane and resulted in at least one data point OUTSIDE the
airspeed/altitude envelope. New notes added to the procedures section regarding short field
and rough field operations.
005 Issued February 23rd, 2000 with a checklist reflecting the condition inspection and
updated maintenance procedures and intervals. There are also changes to the content grammar,
readability and flow. Charts have been included electronically (as opposed to ‘cut and paste’
after printing out the document). This version will be updated again to reflect content changes
to the condition inspection about to be carried out on the plane and to finalize the handbook for
grammar, readability and content.
006 Issued March 12, 2000 Includes an updated cruise checklist and procedure because
of an incident whereby the fuel was not properly feeding from both tanks during cross country
flight. Reflects updates as necessary from the 100 hour inspection conducted in March.
007 Issued ??,2000 Minor typographical fixes included.
