Talk:Flight test

US centric?
Pilot engineer VAUGHAN ASKUE, manager of customer development at sikorsky aircraft in stratford, in his book "Flight testing homebuilt aircraft" says: flight testing is the step-by-step process of learning an aircraft's limitations, difining and fixing its problems, and determining its capability and optimum flying techniques. each step in the test process designed to prepare both the pilot and airplane to progress to the next step with a minimum of risk.

The page is very US centric and lacks objectivity in that sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.105.189.193 (talk) 15:16, 11 August 2011 (UTC)


 * What are you on about, then? Sikorsky Aircraft is located in Stratford, Connecticut, not England, so it's hard to see why this quote (which from his title pertains to homebuilt aircraft,) proves bias. Industrial flight testing, simply put, is about proving a civilian aircraft is safe to fly, and what a military aircraft can do (higher performance craft, inherently more hazardous so a greater degree of risk is accepted), before being put into service. No matter where in the world an aircraft is designed or built, these same rules apply, so why are you whining? JustinTime55 (talk) 21:43, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
