5. FLIGHT TEST PROGRAM
A Flight Test program has been developed for AVID IV N97HD. This program is fully
documented in a document entitled “Flight Test Protocol”. The program consists of the following
steps:
1. Low Speed Taxi Tests
2. High Speed Taxi Tests
3. Engine Reliability/Flight Controls
4. Envelope Expansion/Engine Performance
5. Air Speed Indicator Accuracy
6. One “G” Stalls
7. Power on Stalls
8. Power on Stalls at 10 Degree Flaps
9. Power on Stalls at 15 Degree Flaps
10. Best Rate of Climb Speed
11. Minimum Control Speed Handling
12. Static Longitudinal Stability
13. Dynamic Short and Long Period Longitudinal Stability
14. Lateral Directional Stability
15. Inadvertent Spin Entry
16. Stall Speed in 30 Degrees Bank
17. Stall Speed in 45 Degrees Bank
18. Stall Speed in 60 Degrees Bank
19. Stall Characteristics at Max Gross Weight and Fwd CG
20. Stall Characteristics at Max Gross Weight and Mid CG
21. Stall Characteristics at Max Gross Weight and Aft CG
22. Best Rate and Angle of Climb at Max Gross Weight
23. Lateral Directional Stability
24. Accelerated Stall (45 Degree Bank) at MGW mid CG
25. Accelerated Stall (60 Degree Bank) at MGW mid CG
26. Service Ceiling
