Advice required on Rotary-Wing Flight Test
Firstly, I know there is a wealth of information from the ‘Sticky’ above concerning Test Pilot and FTE , which I have read and found valuable.
My aim is to become a rotary-wing test pilot and I would greatly appreciate advice on my specific situation.
This is my background:
I am 32 years old, live in the UK and hold a first degree in Aerospace engineering from the University of Liverpool. I am currently completing the thesis for my Masters (Southampton University), concerning the vortex ring condition for rotorcraft. I was also a graduate research assistant at Liverpool University (with Prof. Gareth Padfield) for 18 months, working on helicopter flight simulation modeling using flight test data. I have gained my JAA CPL(H) and have a total of 250 hours.
With the background that I have, what advice could you offer as to the best route to follow?
Steve
