test area for at least 40 hours when a type certificated engine/propeller combination is installed.

04/04/2011 Page 5 of 13 ANO-013-AWRG-2.0

 CERTIFICATION AND OPERATION OF AMATEUR BUILT AIRCRAFT

D9.2 The carrying of passengers will not be permitted while the aircraft is restricted to the flight test
area. It is suggested that a recording device be used by the pilot for recording of important primary
parameters, etc., Flight instruction will not be allowed in the Aircraft while in the flight test area.

D9.3 For the Phase I, the applicant will receive operating limitations from the certificating Airworthiness
inspector as appropriate. Upon successful completion of phase I of the test flight, the owner/ operator
may request for operating under phase II limitations. For the phase II limitations, the applicant will receive
operating limitations, from Airworthiness Directorate as appropriate for the issuance of an extended
duration Certificate of Airworthiness (one year) renewable on annual basis. A certificate of Airworthiness
in special (experimental) category shall be issued subject to compliance of the conditions given in
(Appendix-II) for the operation of an amateur-built aircraft. Appendix-II contains a sample of operating
limitations that may be applicable. For special (experimental) aircraft, the conditions may vary from
aircraft to aircraft.

D10. SAFETY PRECAUTION RECOMMENDATIONS:

D10.1 ALL AIRCRAFT:

D10.1.1 The pilot should become thoroughly aware of all precautions and ground handling
characteristics of the aircraft by conducting taxi tests before attempting flight rotations. Lift off is not
permitted during taxi tests and without issuance of airworthiness certificate.

D10.1.2 Before the first flight of an amateur-built aircraft, the pilot should take precautions to
ensure that emergency equipment and personnel are readily available in the event of an
accident/incident.

D10.1.3 Violent or acrobatic maneuvers should not be attempted until sufficient flight experience
has been gained throughout its normal range of speeds and maneuvers. Those maneuvers, which are
successfully demonstrated while in the test area may continue to be permitted by the PCAA when the
operating limitations are revised to eliminate the test area. All maneuvers satisfactorily conducted, are to
be documented in the aircraft logbook by the pilot.

D10.1.4 The operating limitations issued by the PCAA Airworthiness Inspector will require the
aircraft to be operated in accordance with applicable Air traffic control and General operating rules, as
they apply to amateur-built aircraft. Those operators who plan to operate under Instrument Flight Rules
are required to ensure compliance of the specific requirements of PCAA.

D10.1.5 Unless authorized a deviation from Air Traffic Control, an aircraft which is equipped with
Mode C transponder shall posses a calibrated airspeed / static pressure system to prevent an error in
altitude reporting. The Mode C transponder must be tested and inspected as per requirements of PCAA.

D10.2 ROTORCRAFT:

The appropriately rated rotorcraft pilot should be aware of the following operating characteristics.

D10.2.1 Operators of rotorcraft having fully articulated rotor systems should be particularly
cautious of “ground resonance”. This condition of rotor unbalance, if maintained or allowed to progress,
can be extremely dangerous and usually results into structural failure.

D10.2.2 Tests showing that stability, vibration, and balance are satisfactory should normally be
completed with the rotorcraft tied down, before beginning hover or horizontal flight operations.
