Check your FAR's. I know there is a difference in wording between check flight and other flight checks

There was an accident years ago in the GOM (GLS?) where they loaded up a helicopter with mechanics for ballast and things went very badly. I think this ended the practice of human ballast for maintenance check flights for many companies.
