Why is aircraft testing important?
Why is aircraft testing important? The flight test phase accomplishes two major tasks: 1) finding and fixing any design problems and then 2) verifying and documenting the vehicle capabilities for government certification or customer acceptance.
Are planes inspected before every flight?
Pilots are supposed to do a preflight inspection of the aircraft before each and every flight. For the most part, all pilots adhere to this. Especially, for the first flight of the day. An abbreviated inspection can be done for subsequent flights that same day called a through-flight inspection.
