Can a technical representative ride along?

Yes. Observers are common on acceptance flights and we plan for the extra crew members in the weight and balance and in the insurance.

Do you fly acceptance profiles after heavy maintenance?

Regularly. Post C-check and post-conversion check flights are one of the most common acceptance jobs we run.

Ferry flights

Acceptance flights and functional check flights

An acceptance flight is a structured test, not a joyride. It confirms that the systems work as the records claim before money moves or an aircraft comes out of a maintenance visit.

A repeatable test card

We agree the profile in advance with the buyer, the maintenance provider and the technical representative. Everyone knows what will be tested, at what altitude, and what counts as a pass.

Engine parameter and trim checks through the power range
Autopilot, autothrottle and autoland where applicable
Pressurization and air conditioning stability at altitude
Landing gear, brake and anti-skid operation
Navigation, communication and surveillance systems

After the flight

You receive a written result set the same day, with any discrepancy described in language a maintenance team can act on. If a squawk is found, we help schedule the rectification and the recheck rather than walking away.
