Flight test tips please
Hi all,
I'm not a test pilot, but tomorrow I'll be F/O on a C of A test flight of a large bizjet. I'd be interested to hear the opinions of professional testers on a few issues:
1. Stalling. Having instructed on light singles, stalling seems to me to be no big deal. However "older and wiser" pilots have been known to skip this part of the test or not do the full stall test.
2. Single engine. Like with stalling - during light twin training you spend half the time trundling round on one engine. But twin engined jet drivers get all nervous about shutting an engine down in spite of having loads of extra power, reliability and safety systems which aren't included in the light twins.
3. Any tips on how to carry out the flight well.
Many thanks.
