Flight Test Fundamentals – ON

Back to Training & Courses

This course provides the foundational knowledge required to understand Flight Testing through a wide range of introductory subjects. This is commonly the first module that test pilot and flight test engineer students receive when attending a longer course at a Test Pilot School and is a pre-requisite for any further flight test training. Instruction focuses on risk assessment, flight test instrumentation, report writing, civil certification, test planning, and tests card creation, leading up to the first item commonly evaluated in an aircraft, the cockpit assessment. Upon completion of this course, the students will gain a thorough understanding of the flight test process from planning to execution, analysis and reporting for flight test purposes, with primary reference to civil specifications.

Topics:

  • Introduction to Flight Test
  • Flight Test Instrumentation
  • Flight Test Safety and Risk Management
  • Report Writing
  • Anthropometrics and Ergonomics
  • Cockpit Assessment
  • Civil Certification Process
  • Statistics for Flight Test
  • Other Introductory subjects

The Belgian Defense has been training test pilots at ITPS on a regular basis since 2004. The quality of training is essential to the Belgian Defense as our test pilots are expected to undertake the whole spectrum of flight testing across the Defense aircraft and helicopter fleet. The training at ITPS met our requirements and our test pilots have proven very competent in national or multinational test programs.

Leonardo Helicopters has been collaborating with the International Test Pilots School since 2017 and a number of our flight test engineers have attended training courses in Canada. As the Head of Flight Test, I have been very satisfied with the results and the quality of the training provided by ITPS.

Giuseppe Afruni, Leonardo Helicopters

The training provided by ITPS was essential in preparing me for a career in civil aircraft flight testing. ITPS provided training of exceptional quality by world-class experts. It fully prepared me with the necessary fundamental skills to succeed as a flight test engineer.
