Here is my dilemma...a test pilot will fly the first 15-20 (+/-) hours on my plane. For me to fly it, and be covered by insurance, I must fly with the test pilot for 5 hours. Note the test pilot is not a CFI, but he is recognized by my insurance company as an expert in my aircraft type.
Am I legally allowed to fly in the back seat, with my test pilot in the front seat during the 40 hour Phase I? My aircraft is full dual control.
And I plan to fly off the remaining time after my test pilot is happy with the aircraft.
I am getting differing answers on this.
