(Can't quote the regs but I'll bet someone on the list can). When you are finished with the restriction period given in your paperwork, you must attest that (paraphrased) you have explored (tested) all flight regimes in which you expect to operate and have encountered no safety issues with your airplane. If you intend to operate in the flight levels above 18K, it seems to me that you must test your airplane there to make that statement. Dan Schaefer
