# Accompany aircraft on flights to make in-flight adjustments and corrections.

*/Tasks/Accompany_aircraft_on_flights_to_make_in-flight_adjustments_and_corrections.*

Accompany aircraft on flights to make in-flight adjustments and corrections.

## Boundary Of Firm

**Automatability**: manual
**Routing Summary**:
- Flying aboard the aircraft to make in-flight adjustments and corrections is idiosyncratic engineering work kept in-house by a manufacturer's or operator's flight-test organization.
- It is performed by flight-test engineers and flight engineers aboard the aircraft; the judgment, the airframe, and the program are firm-specific and not contracted out.
- The task is not automatable: it requires a qualified specialist physically aboard to observe behavior and intervene during flight.
