In-flight tests and measurements are usually performed for newly built or modernised aircraft utilised by the Polish Armed Forces. In the course of the in-flight tests the airborne equipment is investigated also. The main goal of the performed tests is to verify the tactical performance and to identify the technical parameters of the investigated aircraft or equipment. New aeronautical designs are subjected to flight test prior to being introduced into production and service. It is why ITWL was involved in both functional tests of equipment /systems installed on-board of helicopters as well as tests intended to determine flying qualities and performance thereof. Numerous test flights have been carried out in conformance to the newly developed methodology that takes account of the Joint Airworthiness Requirements - JAR 29 - Large Rotorcraft. Helicopter flight data and control parameters have been recorded in the course of experimental test flights by means of the measuring and recording equipment. The post-flight analyses of the recorded data made it possible to assess longitudinal static stability and directional stability, manoeuvrability and agility as well as performances of the upgraded helicopter Mi-17-IV.
