NCO.SPEC.MCF.110 Checklist and safety briefing
ED Decision 2019/019/R
SPECIFIC PROCEDURES
Specific
preparation for a maintenance check flight (MCF) is essential. In addition to
the standard considerations before a typical flight (weather, aircraft weight
and balance, pre-flight inspection, checklists, etc.), the pilot should:
(a) inform ATC of the particular MCF;
(b) if needed, agree on the appropriate
airspace;
(c) understand the airworthiness status of
the aircraft;
(d) assess the complexity of the flight; and
(e) develop appropriate strategies to mitigate
potential risks.
The operator
planning to conduct an MCF should develop checklists for the in-flight
assessment of the unreliable systems, considering relevant abnormal and
emergency procedures. When developing the checklists, the operator should
consider the applicable documentation available from the type certificate
holder or other valid documentation.
The pilot-in-command should only allow on board the persons needed for the purpose of the flight and brief the crew and task specialist on abnormal and emergency procedures relevant for the MCF.
