 Test conduct principles:

- Two pilots

- [Company] test conductor in cockpit all flights

- Standardized flying procedures, policies, practices

- Cannot "add" tests in flight

- Can "expand" selected cards if so agreed to in preflight

- Technical engineers: Monitoring station(s) in cabin

- Role of each participant defined; data or safety

- Technical engineers at tm stations at [company facility]

-  In flight/cabin coordinator responsibilities assigned

- "The [company] way": standardized & documented

- Weather minimums

- Fuel minimums

- Crew rest

- Checklists

- Callouts

- Checklists mandatory

- Use simulators whenever possible for familiarization

- Minimize people on board

- Minimum crew -- two pilots plus test conductor

- Minimum essential crew - as above plus "others"

- "Others" - tech engineers, design engineers, data sys tech., vendors
