Abstract	Operations of Experimental-Amateur Built aircraft are divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 is the phase in which the operator is required to show that the airplane is safe. This includes all testing from the time at which the airplane is found airworthy (issuance of an airworthiness certificate) until it has been shown to be safe, typically bounded by either 25 hours (for an engine/propeller combination which has been certificated) or 40 hours (for engine/propeller combinations which have not been previously certified). Additionally, testing in Phase 1 is geographically bounded to a specific test area (necessarily away from congested areas). Aside from an admonition to “show safe characteristics” and the requirement for a very small handful of measurements, the requirements are silent on just how to do that. This paper outlines a plan, by way of example to safely and efficiently perform the necessary testing.
