A permanently instrumented Comet 4C aircraft is operated exclusively for flight testing of new avionic equipment. This report describes the facilities offered by this flying laboratory; emphasis is placed on the digital trials methods appropriate to the testing of inertial navigation systems. The functions provided by a micro-miniature GEC G719 digital computer in real-time processing of information from various 'datum' sensors, and producing, in-flight, records of test equipment errors is described. The use of a 'datum' LASER altimeter for radio altimeter testing is also described. (Author)
