4-3. MAINTENANCE TEST PILOT TRAINING

Mission training increases the aviator's proficiency in performing maintenance test flights. The tasks outlined in Chapter 7 are mandatory mission tasks for aviators designated to perform test flights; they will be included on the Commander's Task List in the Individual Aircrew Training Folder. Commanders are not authorized to delete any MTF tasks. Personnel performing as MPs should be limited to duties in a maximum of two aircraft and should be classified as FAC 2 aviators. It is recommended that MPs be required to complete only those additional mission tasks that the commander considers complementary to the MTF mission.
