BACKGROUND The Test Pilot School is where the Air Force's top pilots, navigators, and engineers learn how to conduct flight tests and generate the data needed to carry out test missions. Human lives and millions of dollars depend upon how carefully a test mission is planned and flown. The comprehensive curriculum of Test Pilot School is fundamental to the success of flight test and evaluation. This contract will support one of their three (3) graded qualitative evaluation events (requirement for graduation) during the academic year. III. SPECIFIC INFORMATION OF INTEREST The Test Pilot School (TPS) is interested in someone who can supply two different airplanes (of similar “taildragger types) so students can do direct comparisons on the same day, optimally. New concept in the shop. It may or not work but we’re going to see if the students get more out of it with this new process.
