Cooperation in the field of flight inspection
In Germany, flight inspection is carried out by a separate company for both civil and military surveillance and navigation infrastructure. The DFS subsidiary FCS (Flight Calibration Services GmbH) performs calibration flights for all facilities that cannot be checked from the ground. For the Armed Forces, FCS performs flight inspections for ASR and PAR stations (aerodrome surveillance and precision approach radar) as well as for the tactical air navigation system TACAN. Flight inspection work includes:
- Commissioning calibration prior to the first operational use of newly installed navigation and radar systems
- General flight inspections / routine flight inspections for periodic verification
- Special flight inspections (e.g. after maintenance work or system changes)
In the field of flight inspection, it is also former military staff who ensure the required military expertise.
