Testing and Qualification
	A number of specialized test rigs have been built for various sub-systems and systems of LCA. The Dynamic Avionics Integration Rig (DAIR).  Environmental Control System (ECS) Rig.  Lightning Test Facility (LTF), Electrical System Test Rig, Fuel System Rig.  Under Carriage Drop Test Rig and Brake Dynamometer are a few of them.

 

Specific aircraft components and assemblies are subjected to qualification test prior to installation? Integration.  These include half wing test for evaluation of lightning protection and Main Airframe Static Test (MAST) specimen subjected to various maneuver loads.  The MAST specimen will also be used for fatigue testing.

 

Stringent standards and procedures are followed at every phase of design and development.  Independent agencies 'Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC) and the Director General of Aircraft Quality Assurance (DGAQA)' critically review and clear all design procedures and components to be flight worthy.
