Only the FAA can certify the test? Why can't they go to Jiffy Lube and let them certify some items?
Don't expect the proving flights to be as simple as a walk in the park.
Daily FAA-Only Postflight Briefings. The CPT will determine if they have collected adequate EPI data and discuss the applicant’s performance. If it is unlikely the collected data will affirm element performance, the CPM/CTL will determine continuation in accordance with the following:
· In the event of multiple system failures (air carrier systems) or severe system deficiencies, the CPM/CTL may terminate proving tests to allow the applicant to redesign systems.
· In the event of a failure of an individual, or a minor system failure, the CPM/CTL may terminate that segment, but continue the proving tests.
· The FAA may repeat scenarios, but the CPM/CTL will modify them.
· If the FAA discontinues the proving tests, it will rescind the letter of approval.
