Much of the success of our industry stem from these activities, as it does from operational feedback and learning from previous events.
Maybe I have been a little unfair. Test pilots will have helped develop, test and improve many systems including those seen and unseen on all aircraft. But part of the process must be to include the rationale behind the way a system works. We are just given a "Push button X and this will or will not happen". We are not supplied with the story behind the logic. Surely communication to the end user should be part of their remit?
