Evolution Aviators

High Performance Flight Services ★ 877 867 6020

Whether you are a single engine owner or a light jet pilot proper maintenance flights are essential to keeping your airplane safe and hassle free.

Our Professional Pilot will conduct our Pre and Post Maintenance Inspections using our checklist designed by Professional Test Pilots with manufacturer experience. Evolution Aviators pilots stay current with the aircraft trends by holding interactive presentations twice monthly so you can guarantee we are on top of the workings with these planes.

Before the maintenance process begins let our pilot run our profile to find potential problems and correctly troubleshoot current issues as to avoid wasting time and money in service center fees. We will then work closely with you maintenance facility to make sure your aircraft is delivered squawk free with a follow up flight.

At the conclusion you will receive an After Action Report detailing our findings:

  • Single Engine Example: PDF
  • Light Jet Example: PDF

Our maintenance flights are proven over the past year to save our customers time lost and money in the bank on service fees.

The inspection includes but is not limited to:

Ensuring aircraft security from ground and flight aspect.

  • Logbooks are inspected and assured complete currency.
  • Flight inspection designed by professional production test pilots.
  • Aircraft is flown through entire flight profile to ensure performance is as advertised.
  • Aircraft Performance Validation

Compare your aircraft’s performance to book values. Performance evaluations are conducted in the climb, cruise, descent and landing.

Aircraft Systems Evaluations

Engine
We’ll verify proper engine set-up for piston aircraft; additional tests are completed for turbine aircraft, such as Bodes and Slams.

Flight Controls
We’ll check for proper flight control operation and control smoothness. Primary and Secondary Flight Controls are checked throughout the flight envelope, at low speed and at they’re maximum allowable operating airspeed.

Landing Gear & Brakes
Landing Gear is operated at its maximum operating airspeed. Handling qualities with the landing gear in the down position are evaluated. On some aircraft, emergency landing gear extension evaluations are performed. The hydraulic system is evaluated throughout flight. A maximum effort braking event will be performed.

Electrical
Engine(s) are started without the use of ground power equipment. Aircraft electrical components are evaluated before, during and after flight. Failure modes are evaluated.

Climate Control
The aircrafts climate control system is evaluated on cabin air distribution, air output and temperature.

Pressurization and Oxygen System
Cabin Pressurization is evaluated in normal and abnormal modes, including single source operations and smoke clearing scenarios. We’ll also evaluate the cabin pressurization schedule to ensure the cabin altitude is where it needs to be. If applicable the oxygen system will be tested for proper function.

Avionics
All navigation capabilities will be evaluated; all autopilot modes will be evaluated. Radios and Transponders are evaluated with the help of Air Traffic Control.

Aircraft Handling Analysis
Aircraft of the same make and model can have slightly different flying characteristics, especially composite aircraft. We’ll evaluate the flying qualities of the aircraft throughout the flight envelope, including stalls (stick pusher) and Vmo/Mmo/Vne dives.

Ice Protection
Whether the aircraft has electric, TKS, or pneumatic ice protection systems, Evolution will ensure proper operation of all components.

Fuel System
Evolution will evaluate proper boost pump, start pump and motive pump operation. Failure modes will be evaluated. Fuel gauging and transfer systems will be checked for proper operation.

Others
Any other aircraft specific systems will be evaluated for proper operation and performance.

Detailed Interior and Exterior Cosmetic & Fit and Finish Inspection
New aircraft should have an unblemished paint finish. The interior should be free of damage, dirt, wear, etc… Used aircraft may have wear and tear cosmetic damage, but anything that isn’t considered wear and tear is noted. Any blemishes will be noted with photographic evidence.
