Although written for flight test professionals, this book is pertinent to any undertaking which has potentially significant and unwanted outcomes. Flight testing involves deep technical content but "the way" (i.e., Tao) in which flight testers go about their business can be characterized in terms of a few general principles. This easy-to-read, brief, story-based format places those concepts within reach of the uninitiated while retaining the interest of seasoned flight test veterans.
