Flight Test Services |
Flight Test Management
Our flight test expertise enables us to offer a range of services encompassing all aspects of the design, management and conduct of experimental, development and certification testing of aviation and related systems and products. Our considerable and demonstrable experience in safety-critical test programmes can be employed to your advantage. |
Regulatory Requirements Advice
British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCARs), European Joint Aviation Authorities Regulatory Requirements (JARs), European Aviation Safety Agency Certification Specifications (EASA CS), United States of America Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) - confused ? |
| The pace of change in aviation regulation has been extraordinarily high in recent years and non-specialist organisations can find regulatory requirements a daunting prospect. If you have a need to test and certify aviation equipment or fly manned or unmanned aerial vehicles for development purposes then we can help you through the regulatory process and ensure that you have the necessary approvals in place. |

Certification Compliance Analysis
You'll want to be sure that you demonstrate compliance with the appropriate requirements in the most efficient manner possible. Our experts have the background and knowledge to guide you through acceptable means of compliance to ensure that testing is precisely targeted and time and money aren't wasted. |
Flight Test Instrumentation
Flight test instrumentation can be more or less complex depending on data collection needs. Our many years of experience in the field will help identify the best solution. |
Flight Test Scheduling and Profiling
Our flight test engineers and test pilots will generate flight test schedules and profiles that will ensure clear demonstration with the agreed basis of certification and efficient data gathering. |
Operational Risk Analysis
In addition to failure modes and effects and associated system hazard analysis, operational risk analysis is an essential element of safe flight testing. The degree of risk associated with each specific test requirement must be identified and evaluated and appropriate mitigation strategy put in place. Correct selection of test techniques, handling protocols and control strategies is a major component of this process and it is vital that the flight test management team has the training and experience to make the correct choices throughout the flight test programme. |
Flight Test Planning and Conduct
Our test pilots and flight test engineers hold multiple civil and military flight test approvals and can undertake flight test programmes across a wide range of air vehicles and associated systems. They are experts in planning flight trials and can advise on the selection of airfields, terrain, airspace, and related facilities appropriate to the test requirements. In addition to meticulous flight preparation and test conduct, they will provide the accurate post-flight reporting and recording which are essential to the success of large or small flight test programmes. |

Data Analysis and Reporting
Our professional data analysis and reporting services will ensure that the test results are presented in a clear and concise manner that gives full weight to your conclusions and compliance verification statements. |
