The Little Arrow That Could
I'm curious, is there a pathway, even a challenging/rare one that allows you to convert your certified piston aircraft to an experimental one?
For instance, let's say you had plans to make modifications in the name of testing new technologies/equipment onboard. Are you able to do that?
If not, then a separate question is what regulations allow manufacturers to test engines/avionics/<literally any modifications> on existing certified aircraft before an STC is established for them?
