Has anybody REALLY tried to observe and write down all the information required for the flight test cards while trying to retain control of a relatively unfamiliar aircraft and maintain a watch for other traffic? I think I'm a reasonably competent pilot, but I'm not a graduate of a Test Pilot School!!
What happens if you don't return the PAP data cards to Van's or if they aren't 100% filled out? Do they repossess your airplane? Does it lose its ELSA certificate?
Personally, I'm MUCH more interested in flying the aircraft safely for the first few hours than I am sitting heads-down in the cockpit, solo, watching a still unfamiliar electronic panel, trying to punch the right buttons to call up the display with the required info, and then writing it down legibly in the small blocks required.
