Questions have come up regarding the use of experimental aircraft during practical tests. The FAA has clarified for an examiner to conduct a test in an experimental he/she must first be willing, be rated in the aircraft, comply with Part 61, and the aircraft must be capable of performing all the tasks required for the test. Question have come up regarding dual brakes. The FAA has clarified that brakes are not part of the "dual controls" definition thus are not required for flight instruction and examination. If a task requires the use of brakes the examiner can switch places or the applicant may ask the examiner to apply and release the brakes as required. Answers some of my questions.
