New European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations have prompted Swiss MRO provider Ruag to offer maintenance check flight (MCF) training to helicopter flight crews. EASA now mandates that MCFs be conducted on helicopters after work has been carried out. That includes having a technician aboard during such a flight.
