Logging aerobatic maneuvers during phase 1

[Dana]

Question about flying and performing aerobatic maneuvers during phase 1: According to the latest language used for E-AB operating limitations, it says:

…If aerobatic maneuvers are intended to be performed during phase II, those maneuvers must be satisfactorily accomplished and recorded in the maintenance records. Aerobatic flight testing is not complete until sufficient flight experience has been gained to establish that the aircraft is satisfactorily controllable during the aerobatic maneuver tested. Upon completion of flight testing, the owner/operator must make the following or similar entry in the maintenance records: “I certify that the following aerobatic maneuvers have been test flown, and that the aircraft is controllable throughout the maneuvers’ normal range of speeds. The flight-tested aerobatic maneuvers and speeds are _________ at _________, _________ at _________, __________ at _________, and __________ at _________.” During phase II operations, aerobatic maneuvers that were not documented per this limitation may not be performed. The owner may place the aircraft back into phase I for the sole purpose of adding additional aerobatic maneuvers to the aircraft authorized maneuvers.(45)

Do I understand correctly that what’s needed is to record, for example, “loops at 110 knots, rolls at 100 knots, hammerheads at 105 knots”, etc.? How many things need to be listed, e.g. combination maneuvers (like an Immleman is a half loop and half roll, or a Cuban 8)? I'm sure that in, say, a Pitts, one wouldn't explicitly list all of the myriad possibilities.

If one puts a plane back into phase 1 for a "major change", 5 hours testing is usually required. Is the same true for adding aerobatic maneuvers, or do you just need to fly long enough to complete the acro testing?
