Just a response to the question raised a while back about getting flight
instruction during the flight test period.  I know each FSDO has their own
interpretations on the rules, but I can give you my experience in dealing
with a couple of different FSDO's.   The rules basically say that you can
only have crew members that are required for the flight.  If there is an
absolute need for a second person during the 25 or 40 hour flight test
period, and you can justify it, then it is fine.  The problem is that most
FSDO's say there is no way you can justify a second person, at least in most
single engine airplanes.  A flight instructor is not required for the flight
test, therefor it is not allowed.   Personally I don't feel it's a very good
idea to be getting, or giving flight instruction during this time anyway.
It's extremely important to have someone competent flying the type airplane
being tested.
