SUBJ/NOTICE OF CONVENING FY-23-2 TEST PILOT SCHOOL SELECTION BOARD// 
 
REF/A/DOC/BUPERS/06JAN21// 
AMPN/REF A IS BUPERSINST 1500.62E, TEST PILOT SCHOOLS.// 
 
RMKS/1.  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.  Application package submissions

6.  Eligibility 
    a.  Designated naval aviators and NFOs through the grade of 
lieutenant commander who are qualified for flight duties and have 
not been terminated from flying status are eligible for selection. 
    b.  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.  Applicants should periodically check for updates and additional 
information via MyNavy HR website at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career-
