I will have the opportunity in the near future to pick up new aircraft for my airline and bring them home. Part of the assignment will be flying on the acceptance test flight with the Bombardier test pilot. I've been trying to prepare for it ahead of time so I don't look like a complete idiot.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Besides reviewing everything I can at home about the airplane, systems, and aerodynamics, I have been looking for a more formal short course. I've just about narrowed it down to the two week Technical Pilot course at the National Test Pilot School in Mohave.
Technical Pilot cousre It's expensive, but it seems more suited to what I need than the Intro to Flight Test course.
Intro to flight Test
Does anyone have an opinion on whether either one would help, or do you think both would be a waste of money? Thanks.
