Extract

The term Aircraft Instrumentation is used to describe the special instruments which in a variety of circumstances are needed to determine aerodynamic, structural and power plant characteristics. Such circumstances may be flight tests of prototype aircraft, tests in the air or on the ground of the aeroplane, its structure or power plant, or the acquisition of statistical data on the conditions to which aircraft are subjected in civil or military operation. These special instruments therefore are additional to, and usually different from, the instruments needed in an aeroplane to enable it to fulfil its military or civil role.
