Ok, so educate me...
For some reason I thought that the following was *only* allowed.
a) test flight could only be done by a solo pilot (no passengers)
b) phase 1 flights are restricted to a solo pilot (no passengers)
If my wires aren't too far crossed, why do I see people talking about getting dual in their own airplane that is still in phase 1 flight testing and why do I also see people talk about taking a ride with the test pilot after the first flight to "get checked out".
I was wrong about purchasing an built experimental and doing your own maint. So am I wrong about this as well? Mind you, I did my original research over 10 years ago when I looked at building an airplane the first time, so maybe things changed?
(10) During the flight-testing phase, no person may be carried in this aircraft during flight unless that
person is essential to the purpose of the flight.
