Abstract:

The Lecture Series reviews the present state of the art of aircraft assessment and acceptance testing of production aircraft. This particular kind of testing is needed to select, from a variety of offers, the best aircraft type for a mission and to check that any aircraft on the production line is identical to the type, with acceptable tolerances. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of this technique in order to help the flight crews and organizations dealing with this activity. Flight test instrumentation methods are set forth that do not require the use of sophisticated ground and airborne instrumentation for data acquisition or large computers for data processing. Flight test techniques described illustrate ways to acquire acceptable results utilizing a minimum of instrumentation or no instrumentation. Author
