DEVELOPMENT TESTING LABORATORY – AIRCRAFT TESTING

Aircraft Industries have got the Approval Certificate No. L-3-059 per § 17 of the Civil Aviation Act No. 49/1997 following Procedure CAA-TI-012-2/99 to perform compliance and verification tests of aircraft of the following categories (according to L8A Regulation ): Normal, Utility, Aerobatic, Commuter, Transport.

Aircraft Industries are authorised to perform compliance and verification tests of:

• Aircraft of the above categories and their structural parts
• Aircraft assemblies

Tests are performed according to the PART,JAR , FAR, ICAO and other Regulation bases on customer option.
Aircraft Industries are firmly established in the field of aircraft testing.
Our activities are based on a long experience with aircraft tests including development and certification measurements and complete test services from preparing ground and flight test certification programs, via performing the tests, to issue of final Certification Reports.


We are ready to offer the following measurements and tests:

• Flight performance tests
• Electric power system tests
• Navigation and communication systems tests
• Vibration and shock tests
• Noise tests
• Strain gage measurements
• Structural and fatigue tests of structural parts
• Aeroelastic tests
• Aircraft tests in extreme climatic conditions - high / low temperatures (cold/ hot weather testing)
• Tests in natural icing conditions (our equipment includes special video system and equipment for ice cloud parameters measurement)
• Tests on high-altitude airports
• Stand aircraft tests : hydraulic/ fuel /air-conditioning / fire protection
• Calibration of measuring gauges for force and basic electric quantities
