FAA Instrument Flight Check Procedures

Hello

First I am not real Pilot or ATC but I Am an aviation enthusiast and starting soon a dispatcher course

Living in Cairo lately I've noticed that in preparation for the opening of the new Runway we had the Flight Checker Aircraft a few times during the past 2 weeks

I understand it comes to check the ILS/VOR etc... however When listening over my scanner, they do some special maneuvars or procedures each identified with a letter and some times a letter and a number

They call it Procedure Charlie and Procedure Echo etc....

Can anybody please shed some light on those procedures ?

Thanks in advance !
