Where a flight test engineer can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a flight test engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Flight test engineers work with other systems engineers to plan the tests in detail and to make sure that the recording systems are installed for the required data parameters. They analyse the data collected during test flights and produce reports for individual test phases and for the final flight test. They are also responsible for the safety of the test operations.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a flight test engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
