摘要:
A method of testing a component of a mobile platform without using an aircraft control system of the mobile platform, where the component forms a part of the aircraft control system. The method may involve using a test controller independent of the aircraft control system to initiate a test operation. The test operation is used to generate a test signal. The test signal is applied to a test subsystem carried on the mobile platform but operable independent of the aircraft control system. The test subsystem is used to act on the component of the aircraft control system. A response of the component may then be evaluated.
