This handbook has been compiled by the instructors of the USAF Test Pilot School for use in the performance portion of the School's course. This handbook outlines aerodynamic theory applicable to flight test procedures; deal specifically with the theoretical basis for performance testing, and describes performance flight test techniques developed at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California. While this handbook is primarily intended to be an academic text in the USAF Test Pilot School, previous editions have been used by virtually all segments of the flight test community. It is our sincere desire that this revision will be helpful to anyone engaged in performance flight testing. (Author)
