135 proving runs
Going to be doing 25 hours of proving runs soon. Pretty much know what to expect, but if anyone wants to share their own experiences, feel free to chime in.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Here are a couple of pitfalls to avoid during Turbojet proving runs:
1. Not adhering to OpSPecs- Don't takeoff VFR in a turbojet without C077
2. Not weighing baggage- Have a "scale" handy at all times
3. Not following GOM and A008 during Divert / Changing destination (Operational Control).
4. Not treating the feds as passengers- Safety briefing/briefing cards
5. Not handling maintenance discrepancies correctly- Follow GOM and D095, especially when faced with an outstation maintenance issue. Anyone that touches the airplane must be on a drug program and must coordinate with the DOM.
Hope this helps!

Not exclusive to proving runs; but make sure line service picks up the red carpet before you start engines. Some examiners/inspectors will ding for that. (some will even arrange for it to be left out to see if you catch it...)
