{"product_id":"2940012106049","title":"Amateur-Built and Ultralight Flight Test Handbook","description":"Do you want to be a test pilot?  Do you want to design and build your own airplane then flight test it?  This advisory circular (AC) sets forth suggestions and safety related recommendations to assist amateur and ultralight builders in developing individualized aircraft flight test plans.  The AC provides recommendations and suggestions that can be combined with other sources on test flying (e.g., the aircraft plan\/kit manufacturer’s flight testing instructions, other flight testing data). This will assist the amateur\/ultralight owner to develop a detailed flight test plan, tailored for their aircraft and resources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1.
