test pilot schools

Test pilot schools are specialized training programs designed to teach experienced pilots how to evaluate and safely test new aircraft, systems, and technologies. Graduates learn advanced skills in handling aircraft under unusual or demanding conditions, assessing performance, and identifying potential safety issues. The goal is to ensure new aircraft are safe and effective before they are widely used. These schools typically include flight training, technical education, and research methods, often attended by military or civilian pilots aiming to become flight test engineers or experts in aircraft testing and evaluation.
