Reinhardt - your profile says you're in Qatar. The SETP members database lists none in Qatar. Qatar does not have an aircraft manufacturing industry.

I'm quite glad right now that I no longer have responsibility for keeping certain people to good behaviour on here, but I will say that I know and trust both Lomcevac and T78 well enough to take...

I would say that unless things have changed a lot that the aircrew role at QQ is pretty much separate and complementary to the job role.

Flight test training at the moment is, let's face it, a bit of a mess: although possibly that's actually a good thing. There is a straightforward route - for those small number of people who have...

Which is not quite the same as an Experimental Test Pilot, of-course : a different role demanding in different ways.

I am a test pilot, or even Test Pilot, which I commonly abbreviate in written and spoken English to "TP".
