Nick L......flight testing?
Here's one for you Mr. Lappos. ( from us lowly line pilots)
When I read the '76 flight manual cat A or cat B profiles, I attempt to fly my a/c as close as possible to them( given ideal/ favourable conditions...etc...)
When you and your colleagues WRITE those profiles, how intense is the testing? Different weights, temp's, ...etc...?
As I understand flight manuals, they are "legal documents" that a/c manufacturers must have certified along with the a/c.
Anyone's response is much appreciated( just directed to Nick L. as I fly the '76)
