What is the normal time you get for testing from the DAR or the Faa? My DAR told me yesterday that I would probably have a 40-hour, 50-mile radius test period. I was just wondering what is common?
What Sam says....I established with my DAR prior to his visit my requested test area which was much larger than the 50 mile radius, and explained that this was due to the high cruise speed of my -9A and the close proximity of NY and Philly Class B airspaces. Ended up with him approving a polygon about 150 miles by 75 miles, with cut outs for the class B's. He also wanted a list of the airports that I planned to 'visit' during this period as well to further endorse the area.

The inspectors the FAA sent out to check over my plane gave me 25 hr, even though I had one electronic ignition on an Aerosport engine. I think I was just lucky.
Not easy to get the FAA out anymore.
