Abstract	Students at the Air Force Test Pilot School conduct a Test Management Project as a part of their regular coursework. A team of three pilots and two engineers in Class 13B is investigating a flight test technique, SISPIO, that has been developed at the School to introduce students to PIO in a safe, repeatable, controlled task. This test technique has not been verified as a surrogate for actual PIO; Project HAVE Thrash is looking at this question, and determining if SISPIO might also be a valid method at testing for PIO tendencies on new aircraft. The students will fly on both a T-38 and the F-16D VISTA in conditions expected to be relatively free of PIO, and in conditions where PIO is expected, and will gather data for both actual PIO and SISPIO. The results will be compared to evaluate the success of SISPIO. As a contractor to the School, I have been working with Dr. Chris Cotting, Master Instructor for Flying Qualities, and the TMP team on the planning of this project.
