Interesting application of buildup.
At my employer we apply similar scrutiny to the test crew. The number of participants may vary according to the level of risk, but EVERY crewmember on the airplane must have a clear and specific purpose related to the test. In addition, anyone who flies on our flights must have completed our company administered flight clearance class (which covers physiology, egress, safety equipment, roles and test discipline), obtain a company medical clearance (akin to an FAA Class III med) and if involved with environmental systems testing, complete a chamber ride.
