FTG (Flight Test Ground)

FTG, or Flight Test Ground, refers to facilities and areas where aircraft testing is conducted after aircraft design and development. It serves as a controlled environment for engineers and test pilots to evaluate an aircraft’s performance, systems, and safety features before it enters commercial service. This includes various tests like engine functionality, system checks, and simulation of flight conditions. FTG is crucial for identifying and addressing potential issues, ensuring that the aircraft meets regulatory standards and operates safely in real-world scenarios. It plays a vital role in the aviation industry’s commitment to safety and reliability.
