The examiners like to see printed and handwritten entries.

If you have an electronic copy of the maintenance logbooks (airframe, engine, prop) I would appreciate a copy of it. Thanks, Steve 601HDS Corvair ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:10:20 AM PST US From: Jerry Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: High Attitude Engine Run Test Steve, I've attached a photo of how I performed this test. My drive way has a nice slope to it. I then ran the nose wheel up a ramp. This gave me a angle close to the stall angle or climb out angle. I then blocked the mains and tied the tail to my truck. The airplane was pointed away from my neighbor's houses. The header tank only had about 1/2 gallon of fuel, so the fuel pump was well above the fuel level. The test was run with only the motor's mechanical fuel pump. Also you had asked for electronic copies of maintenance, motor, and prop logs. My DAR said all I needed was a maintenance log. You have to have an entry that you've inspected the aircraft and that it meets the FAA requirements. Not sure about the exact wording, maintenance log is at the airport. I had used wording that I got from Kitplanes magazine, but my DAR didn't like it, so he told me what to write and we made the log entry during the inspection. It is a good idea to contact the DAR ahead of time and work all of this out before hand. Jerry 601HDS 912ULS 250 hours.
