Testing
Ground • Flight • EMI/RFI

Sterling offers all types of testing services; the most popular ones include ground testing and flight testing for STC programs. These tests can be done at Sterling Helicopter or your facility, whichever is easier for you. We also carry out many EMI/RFI tests to ensure newly added equipment does not interfere with any existing aircraft equipment.

Sterling also offers temperature testing and comparisons, structural static testing, ground vibration testing (GVT), and many other types as project needs evolve.

Ground Testing For Any STC Project

Sterling Helicopter provides ground testing for STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) and ATC (Amended Type Certificate) projects on Part 23/25/27/29 aircraft. Some types of this testing could include ground EMI/RFI testing, ground vibration testing (GVT), ground temperature testing, ground functionality testing, and ground structural testing.

Sterling provides test plans to cover these types of tests and many more, as well as supports remote testing off-site for more convenience to aircraft owners and operators. Once testing is complete, we provide a full test report with DER approvals as appropriate.

We can support research and development ground testing, developmental ground testing, company ground testing, or even certification ground testing.
