View Full Version : Pointer please; test checklist

My Tcraft has been disassembled, work done on the landing gear, and
the engine overhauled. Before flying there are a lot of obvious things
to be checked but I'd like a checklist of some kind to back me up.
Also, I expect to remain VERY close to the airport until I'm
comfortable the engine is reliable. How much time that would be I
don't know.

Could someone please point me to such a checklist? - Mike

FAA AC 90-89A, "AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT AND ULTRALIGHT FLIGHT TESTING HANDBOOK"
has such checklists and procedures, though they're a bit more involved than
you'd need for a T-Cart. But you can probably modify them appropriately.

It's available online... do a Google search for "AC 90-89".
