Empire Test Pilot’s School (ETPS) has released a course catalogue with flight training options through QinetiQ.
The new course catalogue is the first produced by ETPS and will offer flight training options for military and civilian pilots. The catalogue will provide flight test professionals with details of its comprehensive range of training courses covering knowledge and skills development for both military and civilian flight test programmes.
The ETPS is an Approved Training Organisation by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and all courses have been accredited by the UK’s Military Aviation Authority (MAA). The majority of long courses use some of the most advanced and representative training aircraft ever developed for flight test training to optimise skills development for flight test professionals.
Director of Operations for Air and Space at QinetiQ, Simon Tate, said: “Our objective is develop the skills and expertise of talented pilots, engineers and aircrew to deliver significant strategic advantage and real commercial value.”
“This new catalogue demonstrates the breadth and quality of our learning environment for developing the precision flying skills and analytical insight to run safe and effective civilian and military flight test programmes. It is essential reading for any professional looking to further develop their career in this challenging field and for operators keen to develop leadership and competency within multi-discipline flight test teams to maximise the commercial and operational effectiveness of their aircraft.”
