Flight Test Cards

[whd721]

Can anyone point me to a set of Flight Test Cards for a RV9A that ti can use as a starting point. I found a very good and extensive example, but they are not editable.
I hoped to find a set I can start with and tailor my own plan for my RV9A.

Thanks for any help.

Here is an editable set for a Rocket, concepts are similar.

I strongly recommend at the end of your planned first flight and while still "at altitude" you slow down enough to determine the IAS at onset of buffet stall.

You really need to know what that IAS is before you get in the pattern and slow for landing. If you have a low end airspeed indication issue you don't want to find out accidently on short final.

Hello Andy,

I have downloaded and I am using your test cards file and the progressive testing is very nice.
I am looking for the Excel spreadsheet to compute the the IAS as require on Flight 6.
Do you know where I can locate it?
thanks,
Gerard

Sorry I don't have the spreadsheet anymore, but here's the best solution. Take a look at this post from Kevin H and it should give you the information to do the testing.

I have a spreadsheet for testing TAS using GPS ... send me a PM with an email address and I'll forward you a copy.

It looks like all of these originated from the same source. I like them. It also gives me several perspectives. I will be able to take the ones that apply to my aircraft configuration and make a good set of flight test cards.

Thanks,
