Biografier

An elite test pilot recounts his life on the cutting-edge of aviation, flying everything from homebuilt airplanes to helicopters and fighter jets.

Over his long career as a licensed Category 1 test pilot and flight test instructor for both airplanes and helicopters, Chris Taylor has flown an astonishing 400 different aircraft. He is arguably one of the best qualified and widely experienced test pilots in the world. Now he shares the literal ups and downs of aviation testing, putting readers in the cockpit.

Chris began his service flying career with the Royal Navy, piloting Wasp and Lynx helicopters from warships around. After five years instructing, he became a test pilot flying experimental aircraft for research and development purposes, before returning to the Empire Test Pilot’s School as a tutor. Having served at Boscombe Down for 10 years, he joined the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority as an airplane and rotorcraft test pilot. With the closure of the CAA’s Flight Test Department, he went on to form his own company and has continued to test fly a wide variety of aircraft ever since.

In this eventful memoir, Chris covers general aviation aircraft, including testing homebuilt airplanes, helicopters and autogyros. He also discusses testing ex-military jets and warbirds such as the Fieseler Storch, Sea Fury, Spitfire and the Mustang.
