My understanding is that we are required to have a POH... and even if we are not.. its a darn good idea.. especially in our case to have an extra copy around on the ground if the unthinkable happens so that others can know what we were doing (or supposed to be doing). It's also a nice reference to have handy to let guest pilots get familiar with systems prior to actual operation. Just about any other place I check out planes from, when it's my first time in type, I spend a bit of time in the POH to begin with.
That being said, since I am not able to put a lot of $$$ into the plane at the moment, I am starting on the typing end of things with a POH for the Velocity. I am starting with the engine, which is a source of commonality for the group, which would fall into Section 7 by the conventional nomenclature.
Do we (I) NEED a comprehensive POH.. probably not.. I mean.. we built the damn thing... but I think that by providing a comprehensive POH document you are able to show yet another degree of professionalism and refinement that may not otherwise be present. I used the Cessna 177 RG POH as a loose template for topics and terminology, since that was one of the several I had laying around the house. What I am presenting I consider OPEN SOURCE, and free to be modified, distributed or adapted as needed without credit given..
(PLEASE>... DONT put my name on it... cause I don't want to be subpoenaed down the road for any reason as a result of someone elses actions... if you disagree with anything in there, feel free to change it to suit your needs - YOU define YOUR operating limits)
I am also open to feedback regarding content. Let me know what you think.. on OR off list.
