Flight Test Instrumentation

Flight Test Instrumentation (FTI) provides the essential technical foundation for any structured flight test campaign. It allows for the precise acquisition, transmission, and evaluation of key flight parameters—ranging from aerodynamic behavior and structural loads to systems performance and control inputs. This data is critical to understanding the behavior of an aircraft under test, identifying anomalies, and ensuring compliance with safety and certification requirements.

FTI transforms complex, real-time phenomena into quantifiable data, enabling engineers and test pilots to make informed, actionable decisions. Whether supporting early prototype testing, certification programs or system upgrades, FTI is the interface between what happens in the sky and what needs to be proven on the ground. At EFT, FTI is integrated across all training and testing environments—from instrumented test aircraft and portable onboard units to real-time telemetry and debriefing systems—ensuring maximum data fidelity and operational insight throughout the entire flight test process.
