Oscar and netters Major modifications such as airframe changes or engine/prop changes require a 5 hour test period where the airplane basically goes back to Phase I testing, restrictions and all, until the 5 hours has been completed and then the Phase I limits are lifted and you are unrestricted to perform whatever has been tested in Phase I. That is straight from my DAR. If the aircraft is purchased after the Phase I testing has been completed, then you must apply for a test area and be approved and then conduct the 5 hours in that area. After that you are released so to speak.
