Beyond the flightline: How TPS’ Enlisted Test Course is enhancing readiness

Dr. Rachel Kinard, director, Air Force Test Pilot School Research Division, provides instruction to Airmen at Edwards Air Force Base, CA. The USAF Test Pilot School's revamped Enlisted Test Course aims to accelerate the development and deployment of cutting-edge aerospace technology, while reinforcing critical thinking in the field. Held semi-annually and expanded to 16 students over six weeks, the course’s combination of hands-on skills and experience is equivalent to nearly two years of on-the-job training.
