L. A. Fox / FAA DER Flight Test Pilot
- Familiarization in the Mountain Goat, tandem, bushplane was conducted in the vicinity of Palmer, AK, in April, 2005, and included 3 flights at mid to light weight and mid to forward cg of the proposed envelope.
- The technique used to calibrate airspeed indications was valid, although documentation on the equipment used to calibrate was not verified. A qualitative assessment of speeds attained in flight, however, revealed a stall in the vicinity of 30 mph and a cruise speed of over 150 mph. These estimates were conservative and reveal a maximum to minimum ratio of over 5 to 1. Verifiable instrumentation may, in fact, demonstrate a ratio closer to 6 to 1.
- Level flight stall characteristics at the weight and CG tested were docile and totally certifiable.
- Directional stability at slow speeds was very positive.
- Roll control throughout the speed range tested was good.
- Landing on and takeoff from a gravel bar with small boulders was comfortable and controllable.
- The engine / fixed-pitch prop combination produced a healthy balance between cruise and climb.
