Default <40hr Phase 1?

Say one installs a used certified engine and prop out of say.....a Mooney or similar with the original engine data tag, will you be granted a 20 Hr test period?

IIRC, the regulations call for a 25 hour fly-off with a certified engine/prop.

I do know of one plane that is flying with an engine & prop out of one of the SnF tornado damaged airplanes that was given the lower Phase 1 time by the local FSDO because the engine-prop combination came out of a "certified" airplane. Granted, that airplane was certified as an E-AB.

I can't be the only one with Vans YIO-360-M1B and Hartzell to get a 25 hr phase 1 from the FSDO.

My Rocket, my Hiperbipe and the -8 I fly were all given a 25 hour phase 1.

Default Any code words?

Any chapter, verse, or precise answers to get this (25hrs) ? I have the same engine, Bill, and a Hartzell, approved, prop.

At the present time, FAA Order 8130.2H has what you are looking for.

Go to 461. Flight Test Areas.
c. Assigned Flight Test Area.
(1)

Page 4-70 says:
"(1) Amateur-built aircraft issued original airworthiness certificates should be limited to operation within an assigned flight test area for a minimum of 25 hours when a type-certificated engine/propeller combination is installed. A minimum of 40 hours is required when a non-type-certificated engine, propeller, or engine/propeller combination is installed. Furthermore, if the type-certificated engine, propeller, or engine/propeller combination installed have been altered in a way that differs from an approved type design in a TCDS, a minimum of 40 hours will be required. "

Thanks Gary, but the paperwork on the YIO-360M1B is "experimental" and not "type certified" right?

So to further and complicate my original question, if I flew the plane 25, then installed EFII, would I need to go back into testing, and or file paperwork?

You may well be the only one. The 'Y' is not certified. The FAA or DAR made a mistake.
