A portable attitude test stand (PATS) (50) for an aircraft engine (10), has: a support frame (60) mountable on a trailer (C) of a road vehicle; a test cell (TC) supported by the support frame (60) and sized to receive the aircraft engine (10), the test cell (TC) operable to rotate the aircraft engine (10) about a pitch axis (P) and a roll axis (R) of the aircraft engine (10); and an actuator (71) operatively connected to the test cell (TC) and to the support frame (60), the actuator (71) operable to lower and raise the test cell (TC) relative to the support frame (60) between a transport configuration in which the test cell (TC) has a transport height (H1) and a test configuration in which the test cell (TC) has a test height (H2), the test height (H2) being greater than the transport height (H1).
