MIL-M-27733B(USAF)
3.4 Technical acceptance. Prior to acceptance of the Class II modification,
the aerospace vehicle shall be checked as specified in section 4 herein, to
demonstrate proper operational qualities (see 6.2.1.d).
3.5 Workmanship. All details of workmanship shall be in accordance with
high-grade installation practice. Insofar as practicable, the modification
shall be so accomplished that the aerospace vehicle can be readily returned to
standard configuration, except when an aircraft has been redesignated with an
"N" classification prefix, or when drones or target missiles will be tested to
destruction.
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract
or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all
inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in
the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other
facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements
specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government
reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in the
specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure supplies
and services conform to prescribed requirements.
4.2 Examination of product. Each modification shall be thoroughly examined to
determine compliance with requirements herein. A physical configuration
inspection (see 6.4.6) and equipment inventory shall be made to determine the
accuracy of identification and documentation, and adequacy of maintenance and
operation instructions as specified in the Contract Data Requirements List (see
6.2.2).
4.3 The following checks and evaluations shall be accomplished for all manned
aircraft.
4.3.1 Operational ground check. To assure that the aerospace vehicle is safe
for flight, all systems and components affected by the modification shall be
operationally ground checked to determine safe operation and condition prior to
release for the project test flight. Systems which cannot be adequately ground
checked may be flight checked provided that flight safety is not degraded and
provided that a power-on check has been accomplished.
4.3.2 Aerodynamic evaluation flight. This may be flown in conjunction with a
functional check flight (FCF). It is an evaluation of aircraft structure or
aerodynamic characteristics, and is performed by flight test pilots to
determine the effects of the modification on the aircraft. It is required
whenever the modification changes aerodynamic configuration of the aircraft,
changes Flight controls, or affects structural strength. A minimum crew,
consistent with the flight mission requirements will be aboard.
4.3.3 Functional check flight. If determined by the maintenance officer of
the unit to which the aircraft, is assigned, a functional check flight or the
aircraft shall be performed to verify airworthiness of the aircraft and
associated systems or components that have been modified or affected by
modification as specified in the contract {see 6.2.1.b and b.2.1.d).
