    Default 40 hour phase 1 test period question.

    What do you do after you fly off the 40 hours? My first time and I really can't find an answer on the subject. Thanks

    The operating limitations have all the answers, but in a nutshell,

    1. Fill out the blanks in your operating limitations. Vso, Vx, Vy, weight CG....
    2. Make an entry in the maintenance records. An example is in the ops lims.

    Harlan - unless your DAR did something different than the standard airworthiness certification, what you need to put in your aircraft maintenance log is specified in ยง20 of the "conditions and limitations" section. Congrats on getting into phase 2.

    Ok it was easy to find when guided to my AWC, wording is easy to copy into the Maintenace logbook. I'm sure the DAR told me this but I have slept a few times since then. Thanks guys for the guidance for us simple people!
