This is the first test pilot school that BETA have visited in Europe, and ETPS instructors and students alike were keen to take a closer look at this cutting-edge technology.
Gareth Bottomley, ETPS Senior Project Manager: "We at ETPS are always looking for new and novel aircraft for our students to fly and implement the test techniques they have learned.
The CX300 has recently completed a cross-country journey in the US, from upstate New York to Santa Monica Municipal Airport in California. The 8,000+ nm trip west and back involved flights in VFR and IFR day and night conditions conducted under special airworthiness certification issued by the FAA."
Nate Moyer, BETA’s Chief Test Pilot, said:
“Working with ETPS has been a valuable exchange of expertise. Our visits to the UK and Vermont have strengthened best practices and improved pilot safety on both sides.”
