VG essentials for Pilot-Astronaut successful candidates

•    Must be a US citizen – compliant with ITAR (22 CFR §120.15)
•    A current FAA commercial (or equivalent) pilot license and FAA medical (you will be required to produce evidence of both at interview)
•    Degree level qualification in a relevant technical field
•    Graduate of a recognized test pilot school, with at least 2 ½ years post-graduate flight test experience (you will be required to produce evidence at interview)
•    A diverse flying background with a minimum of 3,000 hours flying to include considerable experience of: large multi-engine aircraft and high performance fast jet aircraft and low lift-to-drag ratio glide experience (e.g. simulated flameout landings) in complex aircraft
•    Operational experience of an aerospace aviation project or business
•    Excellent, current knowledge on a diverse range of aerospace matters
•    Ability to communicate aviation knowledge and safety related information simply, succinctly and clearly
•    Previous responsibility for authorizing and implementing policies and procedures to ensure a safe and efficient operation
•    Be a proven team player


Very limited exceptions to the above may be considered for those with truly outstanding test flying or spaceflight experience.

Preference will be given to those with experience of:
- Spaceflight
- Commercial flight operations
- Flight instruction

"Tickets cost $200,000 and deposits start from $20,000."

Good Luck!  8)
