Description
This exercise is the culmination of the knowledge
obtained in T&E 4207. The student will demonstrate the correct
Flight Test Techniques for predicting and evaluating FLIR/EO
performance. The student will be responsible for organizing
the flight brief, evaluating Test Hazard Analysis, conducting
the mission, collecting and analyzing flight data and pilot
comments and conducting the de-brief. The student will be responsible
for preparing an oral report highlighting the results of his/her
findings. Students will be tasked to evaluate an EO system for
its ability to perform a specific mission. The evaluation task
will be designed by the instructor and entail a performance
evaluation of either a FLIR, CCTV or Laser Range Finder or a
combination of these systems. The evaluation will require 6.0
hours of flight test time. The flight and subsequent report
will gauge the student's comprehension of the instruction received
in the previous modules. This exercise satisfies the requirements
of T&E 4220.
