IABG took over the flight testing competence from the former Dornier Fairchild and by this enhances its portfolio of services for the aviation industries. We keep alive the experience of more than 45 years and from now on provide any hardware needed to perform flight tests with any kind of aircraft. This comprises
Ground stations (stationary or mobile) for real time data presentation
 Tracking antenna (S-band)- Data receiver
- Computing equipment
- 4 mission control rooms with 10 real time display stations each
- Voice communication ground/aircraft
On-board equipment for data aquisition
 Sensor units- Data aquisition equipment
- On-board data recording
- Data transmitter (S-band)
- On-board quick look station
- Power supply feeded from the aircraft power net
Software
Our modern hardware inventory is backed by highly efficient software developed to expedite flight tests in the shortest time possible.
 A flight test management system is designed to administrate the complete test campaign from the initial test requirement up to the test order comprising all aircraft modifications.
The flight test instrumentation database contains all relevant information for data aquisition (programming of the telemetry frontend) and the sensor array installation (individual sample rates and calibration factors).
The real time data presentation tool provides the test engineer with real-time diagrams of aircraft systems, showing the state of operation of the dedicated system during flight.
The post processing system is a highly adaptive tool designed to instantly create any diagram needed out of the flight test data pool to evaluate the aircraft and its systems.
 A moving map provides information on the position of the aircraft and can be shown either on a special pilot’s display in the cockpit or on the displays in the mission control rooms.
An aircraft maintenance planning system commands and tracks all maintenance requirements and events of the aircraft indicated during the flight test phase.
