Thank you all for taking the time to reply. Forgive me for not writing clearly, as English is not my first language. As JD says, I will contact the manufactures test pilots.

What I would like is to have basic procedures and guidelilnes for conducting test flights. The legal requirements, pilots level of experience, some sort of guideline on weather conditions, etc...

I beleive there must be some sort of formal training/briefing before any non test pilot (line pilots) perform a test flight.
The specific test flt schedule is not enough. Am I been too cautious here?

We operate airplanes with 4 eng, twins and helis.
Each test flt is unique depending on why do you do it in the first place. But the basic guidelines should be the same. Recently the UK CAA has published a booklet for check flights, which I find very helpful. But it is written as a CAA document. I have not found a booklet written by or for the operator point of view.

Rgards to all
