IFR inspections generally take between 3-4 hours to complete for a typical piston aircraft assuming there are no major issues such as static system leaks. The inspection includes testing the altimeter(s) to between 20,000 and 30,000 feet depending upon the type of altimeter(s) and the service ceiling of the aircraft. Also tested is the transponder and encoder to make sure they are sending the correct information to Air Traffic Control (ATC).
VFR inspections generally take between 2-3 hours and include testing the transponder and encoder. The static system is not tested as part of this certification.
Inspections are conducted at the Fitchburg Municipal Airport (FIT) in Fitchburg, MA. Mobile service is available at an extra charge.
