WRONG AGAIN.

A test pilot must be able to:
Understand a test plan;
Stick to a test plan, flying a plane in a highly specific way;
Carefully document the results of each test;
Have an excellent feel for the aircraft, and sense exactly how it is behaving oddly if it is doing so;
Solve problems quickly if anything goes wrong with the aircraft during a test;
Cope with many different things going wrong at once.
Effectively communicate flight test observations to engineers and relate engineering results to the pilot community, thus bridging the gap between those who design and build aircraft with those who employ the aircraft to accomplish a mission.

So you’re saying Jim Jannard doesn’t qualify? Astounding.
