Test Pilot

BBC One
on BBC One London

High Speed - Low Level
How do you find a small dam in a remote Welsh valley when flying across country at 250 feet and 500mph? What happens if the cabin pressure fails in a BAC 1-11 airliner at 37,000 feet? How does a twinengined Andover transport handle when an engine fails on take-off? What is a helicopter's 'avoid curve' and why is it normally forbidden to find out?
The multi-national students of the Empire Test Pilots' School find the answers in their quest to become military test pilots.
