^^^^^^lol!

A 50 million dollar 200? Does it have 49.5 million in gold stuffed in the cargo?

The plane is probably being given away, but the new owners have to cover gas and associated fees, hence the question about avoiding such fees.

I'm guessing this isn't a full on test flight checking the operational envelop and safety features, more of a test drive before taking delivery.

For what it's worth, the OP's other threads have been suspect as well.

I apologize, but it is hard to take this post seriously. Test pilots undergo a regimented training program equivalent to an advanced degree. What are the parameters of your test flight?? What specifically are you looking to test before taking delivery? The only reason why I am asking, is because this will dictate how the flight will be organized. If no briefing has been established between the captain and the first officer with the company, then I am at a loss.

This is entertaining....No pilot would ever post something like this on a forum.

My sincerest advice, if this is a true post....to go out to a warning area off the coast and call the TRACON in control of that area and tell them a day in advance of the test flight.

God speed.

Judging by the broken English and the South American reference, the term 'test flight' is probably not anything like what you would expect from your apparently obvious military background. In the General Aviation world, what the OP is requesting really isn't far fetched.
In the past I have done many flights called 'test flights' that were probably more accurately 'pre-purchase inspection' flight or 'return to service' flights following maintenance. The term 'test flight' in GA (non-manufacturer) is very different from the military definition.

I cannot believe anyone is taking this thread seriously. Come ON people!!!

I noticed that. For an FO, this guy sure is doing a lot of administrative stuff that management normally handles.

Why is he asking to have manuals sent to him?

I just read his posts, is it possible this guy isn't a pilot and......

Nah, someone who wanted to do that wouldn't ask on a pilot message board.

Pretty sure this guy legitimately works for some small corporate department and has some down time in the hotel before the flight.

Errbody calm down

I just need to learn how to take off not land can anybody help me?
