A First Officer of a flight inspection aircraft serves as a specialist in aviation. As a First Officer within the company, the individual is directly involved in the organisation and execution of calibration flights. Additionally, the role includes undertaking ancillary tasks as required.

Serving as a First Officer on a flight inspection aircraft means being more than just a pilot; it involves being a specialist possessing excellent flying skills combined with expertise in calibration technology. The aircraft must be flown precisely along complex, constantly changing flight paths and at low altitudes. This demands high concentration, as even minor deviations can impact data quality. Calibration flights often last several hours and may take place under challenging weather and traffic conditions, with the safety of the crew always maintaining the highest priority. The role of First Officer is demanding, requires significant technical knowledge, yet offers substantial professional fulfilment.
