This manual is a guide for pilots and engineers attending the U. S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS). The text presents basic theory, test techniques, and data reduction methods for fixed- wing performance testing. The scope of each flight investigation presented is limited to that necessary to teach the principles of the test and its associated data reduction methods. Students are encouraged to be alert, original, and where possible, make appropriate modifications to general test techniques to obtain a specific result more efficiently. All flight testing described in this manual is conducted to define engine and airframe performance characteristics for use in determining mission suitability and specification compliance where applicable.
