This
two-week course is especially suited to aircrew, engineers and
analysts who require an introduction and hands-on experience in
Avionics and Weapons Systems Flight Test. This course is
designed for newcomers to the field, experienced personnel who are
returning to the field and Flight Test Managers and support
personnel newly assigned to a systems flight test program.
In addition to systems theory and operating practice, the
principles and techniques of avionics flight testing are
emphasized to provide students with a firm understanding and
background necessary to participate immediately in any flight test
program upon return to their respective organizations.
Practical flight exercises are structured to build on material
covered in the classroom lectures and to reinforce the students’
knowledge through practical application of theory.
