Wasn't aware of these (well...hadn't looked actually
). Depending what you were looking for, these would probably be just the ticket. 99% of folks don't need to be examining transonic handling qualities.... My organisation is routing more and more people through NTPS, and it is a matter of some discussion whether or not we can get what we want through a series of short courses vice the million dollar special.

Not so embarassing, as it isn't an english acronym: PEXA = Pilote d'essais expérimental d'avions = experimental test pilot, aeroplane = tp. I went through EPNER in Istres.
