Help CRJ 200 test flight
#11
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.

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.

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.

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
