Brian Johnson explores the process of becoming a test pilot in this fully illustrated book in which we follow a group of trainee test pilots at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire. Beginning with the exacting selection procedure, only six UK and twelve foreign students are chosen each year and, once selected, the pressure on them steadily mounts. Training is given on both fixed - and rotary - wing aircraft and by the end of the course each student is fully conversant with the different techniques necessary to fly each type. They learn how to recover safely from spins, how to cope with sudden failures of equipment in mid-flight and how to land an aircraft with no power.
