Flight Department
Flight's responsibilities include research, policy and requirement development, aircraft certification and validation, continued airworthiness and the oversight of industry organisations.
In carrying out our responsibilities, of particular interest to us are the handling qualities, aerodynamic performance characteristics and flight deck layouts of airships, aeroplanes and helicopters on the UK Register. In addition to this, Flight Department oversees, in accordance with BCAR A8-9, the safety of flight test activities undertaken by UK organisations - particularly involving prototype aircraft.
