The Empire Test Pilots’ School (ETPS) at Boscombe Down, UK, is constantly adapting its training output to keep pace with modern technology, flight test technique developments and the requirements of the flight test community.· As such, there will be a future requirement for recruitment of ETPS test pilot tutors (instructors) both fixed wing and rotary wing. ·ETPS would like to be aware of suitably qualified test pilots who wish to be informed of future test pilot tutor/instructor job opportunities within ETPS. ·Qualifications will be, as a minimum, graduation from one of the UK Ministry of Defence recognised test pilot schools (ETPS, USAFTPS, USNTPS and EPNER) and at least 1 subsequent full tour as a test pilot. ·ETPS stresses that this is notan advertisement for the position of a test pilot tutor/instructor but, instead, a request for expressions of interest from those within the test pilot community who would like to be contacted directly should such a job opportunity arise in the future (this confidential contact will be concurrent with national and international advertising). ·If you would like to be informed of future ETPS test pilot tutor/instructor job opportunities, please contact the ETPS Chief Instructor, Captain Steve Daniels Royal Navy (Retired) at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
