The Environment:

A truly unique opportunity that is unmatched anywhere else. You will be working in a special projects engineering team at a test pilot school using the latest technology and teaching techniques to train the highest level of pilots and flight test professionals from around the world.

Our teaching aids are the aircraft themselves. We use a wide-ranging fleet to demonstrate the unique characteristics of each type of aircraft. We have in our hangar military jet trainers, single and twin-piston aircraft, large amphibious aircraft, a variety of helicopters and simulators.

The ITPS engineering team continually enhances this fleet to keep our curriculum at the forefront of the latest technology and flight-test methods.

Our modification projects range from small avionics upgrades, to full-aircraft data sensor installation, to heavy modifications that affect the operational and flying characteristics of the aircraft. Our work is practical, multi-disciplinary, aircraft-level and highly targeted for a special mission. The environment is hands-on, collaborative and you will have the opportunity to touch upon all parts of the aircraft and be directly implicated in regulations and operations. This unique access cannot be found in the large aerospace companies.
