Entering the aviation scene with his PPL at 17, Chris Taylor went on to have an amazing career flying over 400 aircraft types, a Royal Navy career flying Wasp and Lynx, leading to becoming a Test Pilot at the Empire Test Pilot School at Boscombe Down, later going on to become a Tutor at the ETPS. He later joined the UK Civil Aviation Authority as an aeroplane and rotary craft test pilot.

Now running Dovetail Aviation where he still test flies, Chris is a Fellow of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, a Licenced Category 1 Test Pilot and a Flight Test Instructor…. on both aeroplanes and rotorcraft!

In this episode we talk test flying, the challenges and the hilarity, all recorded in his new book:
