This NAVADMIN announces convening of the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) Selection Board on 23 June 2022. This board will select highly qualified naval aviators and naval flight officers (NFO) for USNTPS, U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School and Empire Test Pilot School. Test Pilot School (TPS) graduates have significant and long-lasting influence on platforms and systems which directly impact the future warfighting capability of the Fleet. Request command and Fleet community assistance to identify candidates with strong operational performance and ideally, strong academic backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields of study. 2. To be eligible for board consideration, a command-endorsed application in line with reference (a) must be received by MyNavy Career Center (MNCC) no later than 13 May 2022. Additional documentation (including type wing/carrier air wing endorsements, letters of recommendation, fitness reports, etc.) will be accepted until 8 June 2022 but must be submitted by the applicant as a letter to the board in line with subparagraph 4a below. The e-mail address(es), phone number(s), college transcripts and post-TPS test squadron assignment preferences of the applicant must be included with the application. Additionally, include anthropometric data measurement record, a current body composition assessment report from Physical Readiness Information Management System and any interest in performing Unmanned Aircraft Systems developmental testing following TPS. Current contact information (ashore or afloat) of the commanding officer also must be included to expedite notification if selected. 3. The command endorsement shall explicitly state whether the applicant, if selected, will be allowed and available to report for pre-arrival training by the following dates: a. 10 October 2022 for Fixed Wing pilots. b. 31 October 2022 for Rotary Wing pilots. c. 5 December 2022 for NFOs. Endorsements with availability dates after these respective dates may be removed from consideration and not reviewed by the board. Inability for the applicant to meet the above date may be mitigated by conducting initial training in a temporary additional duty (TEMADD) status at the expense of the endorsing command. If this is required, it must be explicitly stated in the command endorsement that the endorsing command will provide TEMADD funds until the applicant can officially detach. 4.

The preferred unrestricted line (13X0) aviators are junior officers (O-2 or O-3) with detailer-forecasted career timing to complete the selected TPS Program and a 36-month follow-on test tour prior to their expected department head tour. If there are not enough qualified junior officers to meet requirements, lieutenant commanders with exceptional records may be selected provided they can meet follow-on test tour requirements and applicable career milestones. c. Aerospace engineering duty officer (1510) aviators through the grade of lieutenant commander may be selected if they are able to serve a 36-month follow-on test tour and still meet career milestones. d. Applicants determined to have insufficient career timing to meet a minimum test tour of 24 months may have their application removed from consideration. 7.
