SPECIALISED OPERATIONS

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)

https://www.easa.europa.eu/system/fi...20Part-SPO.pdf

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.

FCSL | Calibration Services

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

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
