there is no added risk. That is my point, you make it sound like you need to be a world renowned test pilot to run a checklist. Anyone who is a qualified pilot could run an FCF checklist.
If we didn’t have an FCF department line pilots would have the opportunity to fly these and get paid more.
I've done it, and I'd rather not do it again as a line pilot.
I'd be happy to join the FCF crew, if I lived close to the airport. Having two experienced pilots with their head in the systems makes a difference for my personal comfort level.
It's true that most such flights are non-events. Most.
