Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2013 3:32 pm Post subject: High Attitude Engine Run Test

Hey guys,

 

I am looking for the best/safest way to block up and tie down my 601HDS with tricycle gear for the nose high, above stall attitude, engine run (as stated below).  Pictures would be very helpful.  

 

EAA [url=][/url]Amateur-Built Airplane Certification Inspection Guide:

"The airplane must be 100% complete. The engine should have been run for at least 1 hour. The run should have included operating in a nose high above stall attitude to ensure full fuel flow, and a full power run to verify and ensure maximum designed RPM is attained. The engine run information  should be recorded in the airplane maintenance records. Engine compression test information should be available for review."

 

Thanks,

 

Steve Sims

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.

Nice looking plane. What did you use to polish the aluminum?

Thanks.

       I used the Nuvite polish system.
