GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The FY20-01 TPS selection board convened on 9 April 2020 aboard NAS Patuxent River with authorization to select up to one primary officer for US Naval Test Pilot School (USNTPS) in each of three PMOSs in accordance with the references. The PMOSs considered were 7523, 7557 and 7566. The board evaluated all applications regardless of MOS and selected the most suitable applicant for each school seat. No applications were received from officers having the PMOS of 7566; therefore, no officers were selected for the available 7566 school seat.

4. Officers selected should contact their monitor, stating acceptance for school assignment orders within two weeks of the release of this message.
5. The quantity and type, model, series (T/M/S) requirement for Pilot, NFO and UAS selectees is based upon anticipated testing requirements for aircraft procurement programs up to two years in advance. Because testing requirements change, the quantity and T/M/S to be selected can and does change up to the date of the board. For this reason, all interested Pilots and NFOs were encouraged to submit packages. Officers who submitted packagesbut were not selected and desire to be considered on future boards are required to re-submit their application, including online applications, all required enclosures and command endorsements.
6. Security Clearance: All selected officers must have a SECRET clearance that will not expire during the next four Fiscal Years, and all selected officers must be eligible for a Top Secret-Sensitive Compartmented (TS-SCI) clearance.
