Load Testing

We have the equipment and expertise to carry out most, if not all, load testing required to prove primary components or modifications to aircraft.  The service is useful both for owners  wishing to make a modification, for example to change a propeller, or for aircraft designers needing to prove compliance of a part or mod to the applicable standards.  The following photos show a typical undercarriage load being test carried out to substantiate fitness for use.  The test data then being used in the relevant standards compliance report.
