C.1 OVERVIEW

C.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (formerly Dryden Flight Research Center) is focused on providing flight related research and development aircraft support. AFRC started operations in 1954 and has been at the forefront of flight development with the use of a variety of research aircraft. Currently, AFRC has 23 flyable aircraft which include, but are not limited to, F‐18, F‐15, B‐200, T‐34, GIII, C‐20, 747, DC‐8, ER‐2, Predator, Global Hawk, TG‐14, Uninhabited

Aircraft Systems (UAS), and other unique one of a kind experimental and research aircraft.

Some aircraft are production versions while some have been heavily modified to specifically support aerospace research programs.

AFRC considers all work areas high risk and involve substantial safety hazards. Associated risks include the handling of and potential exposure to hazardous materials. The safety of personnel, facilities and operations are paramount in conjunction with fulfilling the mission. It is NASA policy to avoid loss of life, personal injury or illness, property loss or damage, or harm to the environment in pursuit of its logistical support to the mission.

AFRC Quality Policy: "Our flight research products and services satisfy our customers every time."
