The National Test Pilot School (NTPS) has a very well qualified staff of test pilots, flight test engineers and systems specialists. The former military test pilots and flight test engineers are all graduates of a military test pilot school. Most of the staff either have a masters degrees or a Ph.D. Each staff member has at least fifteen years of flight test experience and some have up to thirty years experience in major aircraft and aircraft systems programs. Several staff members are FAA Designated engineering representatives (DER).
The NTPS has excellent facilities at the Mojave, California airport including three runways (one 12,500 ft. long), large hangars, ample classroom and office space, flight test instrumentation, maintenance capabilities, and a telemetry system. Many companies and organizations that require technical assistance in all aspects of civil or military aircraft flight-testing use the expertise of the staff and the facilities of NTPS under technical service contracts.
The technical services often involve test planning, technical and safety review boards, first flight review structural and flutter clearance, instrumentation installation and calibration, test pilot and flight test engineer services, data analysis, reporting, civil FAA certification and military acceptance of aircraft and aircraft systems. The technical services sometimes are performed at the customers facilities and involve NTPS supplying professional consultants to assist or perform specialized flight test tasks.
