One of the club planes had "major work done" including repainting (removing) the rutter and putting it back on again. Obviously only a licensed pilot or higher can do the test flight. What happens if the "tester" goes up and realizes something is wrong like no rutter control? How would one go about landing without a rutter? Or what happens if the aeilerons don't work all of the sudden? As a student pilot myself my CFI and I practice all sort of emergency procedures but haven't discussed this - I'd ask him but I don't see him until Monday again and I'm likely to forget. So the basic question is what would a pilot do if the aielrons or the rutter quit responding to controls?
