Sean Roberts, an experimental test pilot for both military and civilian projects with more than 18,000 flight hours, started the National Test Pilot School (NTPS) in 1980 after receiving requests from the aircraft industry for a school that would address FAA certification requirements.

“We address both FARs and mil specs on an equal basis,” said Roberts. “NTPS trains military pilots from air forces around the world, as well as pilots from aircraft manufacturers. We have also trained all of the FAA test pilots and engineers for the past eight years.”
