  Test pilot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Being a test pilot of military aircraft, in particular, is regarded as the most challenging and risky flying conducted in peacetime, and is therefore the pinnacle of military aviation.
Test pilots must have an excellent knowledge of aeronautical engineering, in order to understand how they are testing and why.
During the 1920s, test flying was further developed by the RAE in the UK, and by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in the United States.

 Test Pilot Stuff
Western air forces select from their ranks experienced pilots who appear to have a certain tolerance of such things, and send them for a year of specialized training at any of the half-dozen test pilot schools in the US and Europe.
Test pilots may or may not have so-called "golden arms", but they need to have a good grip on what makes planes fly the way they do...as well as the powers of observation, reason, and persuasion to help ensure that the good designs make it into service and the bad ones don't.
The test pilot may have spent many hours in a fairly realistic flight simulator, but certain unknowns always remain until a design is tested in the air.

 Test Pilot
It is the job of the Test Pilot to plan, conduct, direct and report on flight test programs associated with the design, development and modification of aircraft, aerospace vehicles, flight simulators and related systems.
Test pilots are responsible for planning and conducting flight test activities, formulating test procedures and conducting tests to evaluate structural integrity, performance, handling characteristics, reliability and suitability of aircraft and their systems.
Using their knowledge of aircraft performance and handling fundamentals, operational employment concepts and flight test procedures, test pilots must also identify design and operational deficiencies, and prepare technical reports and recommendations for design improvements.

 Test Pilot Logins
The instructor can set Test Pilot™ so students can view the results of an assessment immediately after submitting responses, but Test Pilot™ can also be set up so that students can return to the assessment after the due date and review their responses, the correct answers, and the score.
If a Test Pilot™ assessment is set by the instructor to allow only one submission per student, once a student has submitted his or her responses to the assessment, the student will receive the error message below if attempting to resubmit responses.
Test Pilot™ is convenient for instructors, allowing instructors to post quizzes, tests, and other assessments prior to when students will take the assessments without having to worry about students accessing the assessments before the specified times.

 USAF Test Pilot School   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The fundamental key to success in aerospace flight test and evaluation is the individual member of the flight test team: the flight test pilot, of course, but nowadays the trained flight test engineer and navigator as well.
Although the testing of aircraft was rapidly evolving into a disciplined science during the interwar years, the training of test pilots was apt to be decidedly informal.
More and more, pilots had to combine their flying skills with the knowledge of trained engineers – to have a workable technical knowledge of the phenomena they were encountering, and to translate that into the language of the designer and the engineer.

 Chuck Yeager - test pilot
Because of his consummate piloting skill, his coolness under pressure and ability to detect a problem, quickly analyze it and take appropriate action, Yeager was selected to probe some of the most challenging unknowns of flight in aircraft such as the X-1A, X-3, X-4, X-5 and XF-92A.
Pilots such as Pete Everest, Bill Bridgeman, and Marion Carl pushed the envelope with it, achieving speeds of Mach 1.45 and 1.88.
In 1956 pilots Mel Apt and Iven Kincheloe (a Korean War ace) were assigned to the X-2 project.

 WallySchirra.Com - Test Pilot
From 1952 to 1954, Schirra served as a test pilot at the Naval Ordnance Training Station at China Lake, California, where he took part in the development of the Sidewinder air-to-air missile.
During one test flight, after he had launched the Sidewinder from his jet, the missile doubled back in the direction of his plane and Schirra had to use great skill to evade it.
From 1954 to 1956, he was a project pilot for the F7U-3 Cutlass jet fighter and instructor pilot on the Cutlass and the FJ-3 Fury.

 Chuck Yeager - WWII ace and test pilot
Chuck Yeager's accomplishments as an ace in WWII have been overshadowed by his achievements as a test pilot, but his fighter pilot experiences were remarkable on their own.
The evadee rule was strict,but Yeager and a bomber pilot named Fred Glover appealed all the way to General Eisenhower, who promised to "do what he could." While the decision was pending, the Group let Yeager fly training missions.
Once they were called to cover a downed pilot in the Channel, a Ju-88 appeared and Yeager couldn't restrain himself from going after it, shooting it down at the German coast.
