Thank you for your reply OverRun. I've got the Flight Test Manuals but have had no joy as relates "The Write Stuff". This has proved a more difficult search than I had imagined. It might be time to write an updated manual on writing test reports for test pilots. Seems a pity since it has been done before but now appears to have been lost in time!

I don't have a copy either, although do have a rather elderly ETPS reporting guide on the shelf for what it's worth.
I spend a lot of time thinking about report writing methods, and teaching writing methods to doctoral students who are engaged in flight testing. I have some home-grown material, but have been thinking of updating that in any case. If you'd like to collaborate on anything, by all means drop me a line.

Thank you for the reply Genghis. I have widened my search. Should I find a copy of the "Write Stuff" I will forward a copy to you. I would be interested in the ETPS reporting guide - the older that document, the better in my opinion.
I may take you up on your offer of collaboration should my search not not uncover an authoritative work of merit. Test report writing is quickly becoming a lost art. Test report standards do seem to exist within organizations, but a flight test industry standard seems elusive.

I've written report writing manuals for the now-defunct (original) International Test Pilot School, and attempted to revise it at another school.
Anyone who wants a copy can pm me.
It's based on the USNTPS method, so should be pretty close.
Hmmm. Maybe I should put it into a proper book form. Now there's a thought.

Try this link. I don't think this is the same report writing handbook you're referring to.
