" EAA expects a final version of this AC to be released in the coming months, and is currently working on improvements to the EAA Flight Test Manual and creating associated guidance to make task-based flight testing even easier as the program is rolled-out" from the recent press release.
Q: Will EAA have an easy revision (pdf) to the flight test manual that current manual owners can update?
We don't know exactly how we'll handle the distribution of Rev 2.0 just yet, but we definitely want to make it easy for current users to upgrade. It will be a fairly major overhaul - the core of the guidance (the test cards) will not change much, but we'll be adding in more ancillary guidance on things like creating an operating handbook and using the Flight Test Manual to transition to an already-built aircraft.
In the meantime, we will be moving to Rev 1.1 in the next month or so. This update contains fixes to a few mistakes and typos. As soon as we go live we plan to publish an errata sheet to the EAA website that should make it easy for Rev 1.0 users to keep up with the corrections.

It would be great if these were distributed to EAA Flight Advisors.

Thanks Tom. Always hard to do a print rev. especially if it involves lots of pages... How about a discount on 2.0 for 1.0 owners? As to comments re flight advisors - (IMO) If you are serious about your status of being a flight advisor and actively advising then the FTM should be in your hands and being used..
