Insights
What is flight test instrumentation and why is it important?
Flight test instrumentation (FTI) is the specialised monitoring equipment fitted to an aircraft during flight testing.
How does aircraft test data turn into a flight simulator?
Accurate flight test data is fundamental to building a high-fidelity flight simulator.
The role of Operational Suitability Data (OSD) in aircraft certification
Operational Suitability Data (OSD) is a set of aircraft-specific information developed by the manufacturer as part of the type certification process.
CS-SIMD: Critical for Flight Simulator Consistency
CS-SIMD ensures full flight simulators rely on traceable flight-test data, improving validation consistency, approvals, training quality and aviation safety.
Trends in Aircraft Modification Programs (STCs)
STCs let operators upgrade connectivity, avionics and performance instead of replacing aircraft extending fleet life, value and competitiveness today.
