FCF ‘We Only Come Out at Night’ PVC Embroidered Patch

Description

Night FCF “We Only Come Out at Night” PVC Patch — Functional Check Flights After Dark

Night FCF — because some functional check flights happen when the rest of the squadron is asleep.

This PVC patch represents the night Functional Check Flight (FCF) community — the pilots who fly aircraft that have just undergone major maintenance on nighttime test flights to verify everything works before returning the aircraft to the flight schedule. Night FCFs are flown in darkness, adding an extra layer of challenge to an already demanding test flight profile. “We Only Come Out at Night” captures the nocturnal nature of these pilots, who take aircraft that maintenance has worked on all day and verify them under the stars. It’s a specialized, unglamorous, but critical mission.

Perfect For: Night FCF pilots, functional check flight aviators, maintenance test flight enthusiasts, and night operations PVC patch collectors.
