Overview of the Masterclass
As the vast majority of flight test activity at traditional flight test centres and operational evaluation units now comprises systems test and evaluation, rather than envelope expansion testing, we examine the case for more specific training in systems procurement, evaluation, integration and testing. Full flight test training is expensive, time consuming and unnecessary for the vast majority of tasks associated with these processes; moreover, many flight test centres and operational evaluation units employ current front line pilots with the task of conducting integration test and evaluation, but without any specific task related training. We examine the potential benefits of providing bespoke training in OT&E (and DT) to personnel employed in military and commercial procurement, test and evaluation.
Why you should attend
- Gain knowledge of flight test sequences
- Gain a better understanding of how OTE training can benefit design, procurement and integration processes
- Gain a better understanding of how military and commercial organisations can become more efficient with in service test and integration processes
- Gain knowledge of cost effective alternative solutions to your flight test and development needs
