2. Flight Test Preparation
Overview
The flight test should be conducted on a clear, VFR day. Before commencing the flight test,
ensure that you have adequate altitude, clear weather, no traffic, no obstructions in the flight
path, great visibility, no airspace conflicts, etc. It is recommended that clearing turns be
performed before executing each procedure.
It is highly recommended that you bring someone along on the first autopilot test
flight. At many points, the pilot’s attention will be divided between documentation,
configuring SkyView, and maintaining situational awareness.
