Control flights are carried out for conducting checks of members of flight crew of AF by types of flight training, and also accomplishment of training programs to management of new type of the aircraft equipment.

Training flights are performed for the purpose of training of members of flight crew of AF.

Flight of aircrafts is carried out for check of operability of the power plant and the AF systems after repair and replacement of aggregates, scheduled works (maintenance), completions. Flights are carried out according to programs of flight which are developed by the organization developer for each AF type. On the serial AF passing tests in the organizations manufacturers (on ARZ), flights are carried out on the profiles of flights developed by the AF organizations manufacturers.

5. Test flights are subdivided into flights with determination of degree of complexity and flights without determination of degree of complexity. Degree of complexity of test flights is established by the LINDENS methodical council based on methodical recommendations of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and it is specified in appropriate section of the program of testing.

Types of flight testing

6. Flight testing experienced (modified, modernizirvanny) experimental aircrafts are subdivided on:

preliminary (according to the program of the first test flight, honing, factory) testing;

LKI;

GI, GSI - for the aircrafts created for the purposes of the state aircraft;
