N506RV - Van's Aircraft RV Builder Forums and …
Enclosed is the POH that I developed during the flight testing of my RV-6A. It is roughly based on a typical Cessna POH, with modifications specific to an RV. There are also specific references to my tail number and equipment installed in my RV-6A. For this POH to be useful, you must tailor it to your specific aircraft. The tail number can easily be changed with a search and replace. Other modifications will take longer, such as references to the trike, tip-up canopy, C/S prop, RMI engine monitor, internal ski rack, etc.
Most performance figures (fuel flow, endurance, speed, ROC, glide performance, etc) were obtained from actual flight test data.
I found it beneficial to print the checklists separately and use them during the preflight (pages 7-13, 23-26). This document is best used when printed on a color printer. The 8 ½” X 11” paper should be cut to the proper size after printing.
The Annual Condition Inspection was taken from the RV-List. I think it was originally written by George Orndorff. The Van’s Airforce logo was downloaded from the Internet and I have no idea of the original artist. If George, or the designer of the logo, objects to these being included in the POH, I will remove them from all further distributions.
This POH can be considered “freeware”. It is distributed free of charge. You may pass it on to anyone else as long as this title page remains intact.
This manual was first posted online in the fall of 1997. Since then, it appears that it has been used as a template for many additional manuals that have also been published. If anyone copies information from this manual and then republishes it, I ask that you include a cover page indicating what data has been copied. This manual covers the performance of a 160 HP RV-6A. When these new manuals are then used by a third party, that person will not be able to know what information has been copied, and what was obtained from actual flight test. My goal is to ensure the sharing of ACCURATE data.
I am not a technical writer and make no warrantee as to the accuracy of the information contained in the enclosed document. You MUST review, modify and be comfortable with the enclosed information PRIOR to using it as a preflight/ inflight reference. Due to the nature of homebuilt aircraft, I feel it is impossible to develop one standard POH to cover all RV’s. Use the enclosed information at your own risk. If you don’t agree with this disclaimer, just delete this entire document and get on with your life.
This document is under constant revision. If anyone has any ideas on how it can be improved, please let me know. I hope this is of help to others.
