The FAA frowns on that big time. If they made it easy every guy with
a certified airplane not in commercial use would put his airplane in
the experimental category to avoid the annual inspection and paper work
nonsense. So they limit what you can do with the certified airplane and
how long it can be in the experimental category. It is kind of hard to
convince the FAA ramp inspector that my dog Mikey is really a technician
gathering flight performance data as he jumps out of the Cessna after
a long flight to go pee on the gas pump.

Ever heard of animal testing?  Claim you're using the dog for hearing/inner ear
tests.  Of course that means you've just added P.E.T.A. to the long list of GA
haters... :-(

Mikey wears ear phones when he co-pilots :-)
