747 Test Flight

You're a commercial test pilot who has been hired to check out a retired 747400 that has recently been converted from a passenger version to a freighter. It has been sitting in storage in the desert at Mojave Airport (KMHV) for several years following the collapse of the airline that was originally leasing it.

Once you get to the testing area (7 miles east of the Edwards VOR) your copilot will talk you through these tests:

Stall test
Gear and Flap Extension test
Departure Stall test

The aircraft has been prepped by the conversion crew, and is parked near taxiway F at Mojave Airport. The engines are running and you're ready to go.

Note: During this flight your copilot will handle radio communications, but you'll handle all aircraft systems.

Navigation

The flight takes place under Visual Flight Rules. Your initial clearance out of Mojave Airport (KMHV) is for a climb on runway heading to 15,000 feet. Once you're airborne, expect to be cleared direct to the Edwards VOR (EDW 116.4), and into the test area.
