AFFTC Instruction 99-1, Test and Evaluation Test Plans

Abstract

Most test plans fall within the categories of management test plans and detailed test plans. Management plans for major programs are normally called System Test Plans and contain flight test management concepts and general (as opposed to detailed) test plans that only identify the types of tests to be accomplished. Test Information Sheets (TISs) are actually appendices to test plans and contain sufficient information for use by a flight test engineer to develop flight test cards and for management to discern the overall technical approach being taken. Therefore, TISs are frequently the key documents that describe the specific tests to be accomplished and how they will be accomplished. In order to ensure proper and adequate preparation and planning, a thorough technical review is required of all Test Plans and associated TISs. A major revision to an existing plan must also be reviewed. In addition, a safety review of all TISs is required to identify potential hazards and determine minimizing procedures in accordance with AFFTCI 91-5 for all tests utilizing AFFTC assets. Both technical and safety reviews must be completed before testing begins.
