SKILL AND DEDICATION

摘要

The National Flying Laboratory Centre (NFLC) is the group with the responsibility for operating aircraft for the School of Engineering at Cranfield University. Its primary task is to assist with the teaching of the postgraduate courses, and to provide self-contained short courses for undergraduates from other universities requiring flying laboratories. It also carries out research and trials flying, both in its own and other aircraft. It operates a Bulldog, a Slingsby T67M260 and a Pitts S2C as flight training aircraft. It also operates, under its own AOC, two Jetstream 31 aircraft. It is the latter aircraft that will be the subject of this article. The BAE Systems flying test bed also operates under the Cranfield University AOC.
