Edwards Air Force Base

Worked at Edwards Air Force Base with the 416th Fight Test Squadron participating in ground and flight tests of the F-16. Processed and analyzed flight test data using MATLAB as a member of the Guidance and Navigation team. Developed an understanding of F-16 systems and how they interface within the aircraft. Responsible for certifying proper operation of ground collision avoidance and other safety systems. Participated in final approval process for the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (AGCAS) Test and Safety Plans.Qualified as Mission Control Room Essential Person (EP). Responsibilities included: Pre-Briefing pilots on flight test maneuvers, working at the Guidance and Navigation position in mission control room during flight tests, handling abort calls, and real time data review to determine if the test maneuver acquired the necessary data. Traveled to Dallas/Fort Worth to the Lockheed Martin Flying Qualities Simulator as part of the control room team. Performed safety testing on the AGCAS. Accomplishments:Participated in an F-16 live fire exercise which included targeted bomb drops on the 29 Palms bomb range. Researched and gathered data on the Crash Survivable Flight Data Recorder (CSFDR) to further team knowledge of the system culminating in the drafting of a test plan and presentation for the 416th Flight Test Squadron.
