Test flights after
maintenance should never be in anything other than good day-VFR.


Just about every flight I made in my SR20 was after maintenance.


But you do understand that this is not normal, right? My airplane is
almost 40 years old, it's more comples (2 engines instead of one,
retractable gear instead of fixed) and when my plane got into that
mode (it seemed that for a few weeks things were constantly breaking)
I brought it down for 3 months to do an extensive annual and
fix/replace all the problem items.

Sometimes I had to have maintenance performed at my local FBO just so
I could fly the plane to the Cirrus service center. If I couldn't make
that flight the plane would be grounded for another 2 to 3 weeks while
I waited for the next available appointment.


Then you have a lemon. Fix it or get rid of it.
