REFLECTOR: Aircraft Inspection prior to flight

[KeithHallsten]

Not so.  The FAA is pretty serious about this one, and can make life really
difficult if they find anyone other than the pilot in an experimental during
the Phase I test period.  Only multi-engine aircraft with complex systems
have more than one pilot as "required crew".  Only required crewmembers are
permitted to be aboard during Phase I test flights.  You can use an
electronic data logger, tape recorder, video camcorder, etc., but not
another pilot!
