FIXED AND ROTARY WING TEST PILOTS AND ENGINEERS TRAINING (CIVIL AVIATION ORIENTED) IN SUPPORT OF DGAEPM / AETE

2.  SECURITY:

There is no security requirement associated with the requirement.

3.  REQUIREMENT:

The Aerospace Engineer Test Establishment (AETE) is the Developmental Test & Engineering (DT&E) and Engineering Test & Evaluation (ET&E) Flight Test Agent for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). In this capacity, AETE conducts a wide variety of flight and ground testing involving every aircraft type in the CAF inventory, and is responsible for the evaluation of new systems being installed on all CAF aircraft.

As the Flight Test Authority, AETE, under the Director General Aerospace Equipment Program Management (DGAEPM), employs pilots and engineers to perform duties in the planning, conducting and reporting of flight test programs. AETE requires periodic training for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing Flight Test Pilots (FTPs) and Flight Test Engineer (FTEs) at a school able to provide access to timely specialized military oriented aviation training.

The requirement is for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing FTP and FTE training on a periodic but irregular basis, as determined by operational need and availability and the annual posting season.
