SPECIALISED OPERATIONS

[MichiScholz]

Can somebody give some advice what means "calibration flights" in conjunction with specialised operations?

in the GM I can not find a definition. (page 19) (corr. it is on page 18)

Thanks in advance.

Can't give you the exact definition but my money's on track & balance.


Edit, memo to self: Don't drink and post.

Personally I think it means the calibration of ground based equipment, from the air. An example (although generally done by fixed wing aircraft), would be the calibration of ILS systems.

Concur with Handysnaks,

FCSL | Calibration Services (http://www.flightcalibration.co.uk/our-services.html)

Tarack & vibro would be referred to as Maintenance Test Flight etc..

I agree with Handysnaks. It's page 18 btw.....:p

Also agreed. I routinely pass over London near to City and every so often get held up / have to re-route as London City recalibration of ILS is taking place
