Max 6G Pull + Acro Restriction Removal process!
Proudly associated with ForeFlight: www.foreflight.com/flightchops
In this episode we unlock the full potential of the RV-14; Sharing the process of removing the #aerobatic restriction, which was a part of the initial certificate of airworthiness.
This airplane checks off a lot of boxes - it is a great IFR platform, but also being capable of aerobatics, and #tailwheel configured was a bit part of the appeal.
I am proud to be a member of the Canadian Aviation Museum (formerly CH2A). They are a not-for-profit organization that anybody can visit, and (almost) any pilot can join and fly the planes. Please consider sharing their link, visiting the museum in Windsor, and/or sending a small donation to help them keep our historic warbirds flying! www.canadianaviationmuseum.ca/

Here’s some additional context from Luke, about exactly what we are doing, and why we are doing it:
In Canada, Transport Canada requires an amateur built aircraft to undergo what is known as a “simplified one-off aerobatic demonstration”. Since the airworthiness of an amateur built airplane is entirely dependant on the standards left to the builder. TC provides a straightforward check of items to be completed first to obtain a special flight permit which allows a specifically qualified individual to carry out the aerobatic demonstration flight. The guidance provided is found in Airworthiness Manual Advisory (AMA) No. 549.101A. It should be noted that this process is specific to Canada. Although not required in the USA, it is highly recommended that a properly qualified aerobatic pilot perform a similar validation flight of the full envelope characteristics of an amateur built airplane.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.

I got to fly in my cousin’s RV8A that he built. My first thought was that it looked eager to fly just sitting there on the ramp, and once we got balance figured out with 250lb me in the back seat, I found out that his happy little plane WAS eager to fly. It was a literal trip to realize that this amazing plane started out as a pile of parts in his Vancouver garage. Even though he no longer owns it, I think it’s cool that the main spar has a bunch of rivets that I helped install. I’m sure the present owner got a wonderful aircraft, C-GRJE.

@FlightChops
@FlightChops Год назад
Haha - awesome! My thoughts on this are: “If I was more selfish, I’d definitely get an RV-8. Nothing beats the singular experience of sitting in the centerline, flying aerobatics with the sick in your right hand, throttle in your left… But sharing the experience with a passenger whom you can’t see, is sub optimal.” So really it comes down to this question: “How important is sharing flying while seamlessly interacting and engaging with your passenger?” For me, that is very important, so the decision was made.

@FlightChops
@FlightChops Год назад
Dave is so tall that the (ground adjustable) seats / pedals are set so he can fit well and I can juuuuusst reach full pedal deflection. So with a chute on I feel a bit closer to the panel, but it is actually easier for me to reach full pedal deflection - especially during a hammer head when I get light in the seat and reach for full rudder.

@EllipsisAircraft
@EllipsisAircraft 2 месяца назад
They will probably begin to fail above 6g, but before 9g at aerobatic gross weight. Above 6g they will begin developing permanent deformation that will seriously compromise the structural integrity on subsequent flights. Flying solo, well below aerobatic design weight may allow a small increase in structural reserve. Permitting a small increase in g before permanent deformation. But then there is the limitation of everything else, engine mount, propeller flange, fuselage tail download. Etc. This is the nature of Aluminum, and aero-structures.

@FlightChops

Correct. That’s why it’s probably a good idea to have a professional do this. You’ll notice he was wearing a parachute and the flight was planned over an unpopulated area. But the airplane is designed to be able to handle what it was put through. The purpose of this process is to prove that it was built to meet the standards. Serious question though: if you watched the entire video, does it not answer all of this?

@terryfulwider1296
@terryfulwider1296 Год назад
When a designer draws up an aircraft they assign a G limit . There is an extra margin before structural failure that is built into the airframe. The +6G limit is the amount of G that the designer says the structure can handle without damage or deformation. Testing a homebuilt airplane involves these types of envelope expansion flights to ensure that this specific aircraft meets those performance expectations and safety margins. It's best to test it to its expected limits (not to failure) in a controlled environment like this. Would be horrible to be screaming out of the bottom of a loop and find out that the spar fails at 5.5 G.
