LGNYC,
The courses at NTPS are open to anyone and would benefit all helicopter pilots, not just those in the test community. However, the syllabus is designed to offer most to that group. The RW courses do take the students to the edges of the envelope in controlled situations, demonstrating the methodology of how the envelope is defined. Examples of this are the low speed envelope (sideways and rearwards flight) and H-V. It depends which course you choose that determines the depth of the investigation.
I don't intend demonstrating or instructing inverted flight in a helicopter!!
