2.0 Background: The USNTPS Short Course Department trains Engineering Test Pilots, Flight Officers, and Flight Test Engineers for the Department of Defense and its contractors, Department of Homeland Security, other federal agencies and International Flight Test Organizations. The Short Course Department offers a series of two-week courses that are designed to expose students to basic flight test principles associated with airplane and rotary wing flying qualities, airborne systems, and performance characteristics. A key element of each short course is a formal student flight demonstration/evaluation to provide hands-on experience with test techniques. The Introduction to Airplane Flying Qualities flight evaluation is managed by USNTPS personnel using a contractor–supplied, instrumented airplane and pilot.
