chase crew operations

Chase crew operations involve a team of personnel responsible for supporting aviation activities, often during testing, research, or specialized flights. They coordinate closely with pilots and aircraft teams to ensure safety, proper instrumentation, and mission objectives are met. The chase crew typically manages safety protocols, provides real-time communication, and observes the aircraft's performance from the ground or a follow aircraft, acting as a dedicated support unit to facilitate successful flight operations. This teamwork helps monitor, document, and respond effectively to any issues that arise during complex or experimental flight activities.
