The Turkish New Generation Trainer Aircraft “Hürkuş-A” developed and manufactured by TAI Engineers, has accomplished EASA Flight Test between 22th-25th of March at the TAI facility.

A European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) flight-test pilot and a flight test engineer completed a total of six sorties for certification compliance with the Hurkus prototypes HUR01 and HUR02. 

Tests consisted of verification of the general flight and handling characteristics of the aircraft’s stability and control, of its stall; spin; maneuvers and aerobatic capability, of its navigation and night flying capability, the man-machine interface, the emergency procedures and the overall system characteristics.  The EASA’s test flight pilot and engineer “did not find any incompatibility” for certification, the TAI announced.
