The purpose of the Army Experimental Test Pilot (XP) program is to
train experienced Army officers to become qualified XPs or Flight Test
Engineers (FTE). Selected candidates will train at the United States
Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS), located at Patuxent River Naval Air
Station (NAS), MD, and are instrumental in providing unique perspectives
to programmatic decisions relative to research, development, and test
requirements. This program satisfies Army training requirements for
experimental (research and development) test pilots and flight test
engineers.
