at ITPS Canada

This year’s seminar will be especially meaningful as the International Test Pilots School celebrates its 40th anniversary. We are pleased to invite fellow flight test professionals for two full days of technical presentations, operational insights, emerging technologies, and professional collaboration with members of the international flight test community.

Since its founding in 1986, ITPS has brought together test pilots, flight test engineers, instructors, researchers, and flight professionals from around the world. The 2026 seminar provides an opportunity to recognize this shared history while looking ahead to the technologies, programs, and operational challenges shaping the future of flight test and evaluation.

The seminar is an opportunity to connect with industry professionals, former classmates, instructors, colleagues, and friends while celebrating four decades of flight test training, innovation, and excellence. Attendees will exchange lessons learned, examine current developments, share technical achievements, and strengthen the professional relationships that continue to advance the flight test profession.

The high calibre of presentations reflects the standard of excellence at the International Test Pilots School, as well as our commitment to innovation, agility, collaboration, and safety. The seminar will be attended by graduates, industry professionals, researchers, members of the international flight test community, the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, and the Society of Flight Test Engineers.
