In aviation, flight test instrumentation is crucial for gathering essential measurement data and parameters required for certification by aviation authorities. Diverse technologies and tools decode and interpret data during flight trials, offering a detailed overview of an aircraft's performance.

Key components include the flight recorder, analog sensor data, switching states, field bus info, and communication protocols like ARINC 429, ARINC 664, or MIL-STD-1553B from the flight control system. The flight control system manages maneuverability and stability, with flight test instruments capture data on control surface configurations, response times, and flight dynamics. Engineers use these measurements to optimize performance and safety.

Structural analysis of components (e.g., airframes, wings, rotor blades, landing gear, actuators, motors). Strain and stress measurement and control for calibration, static, fatigue and endurance test beds. Strain measurements on composite materials Turbine engine test cell instrumentation. Integrated automated test stand control and alarm systems.

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) solutions for nose-wheel steering, iron bird and ISTR rigs. Development testing of cargo loading systems. Integrated ATP test stands for production and quality control. Development test bed for high-lift systems. Pressure and temperature scanner interfaces for turbine engine test cells. Vibration monitoring hardware and software.
