agree  transphy: Pilots who fly new aeroplanes for their MAIDEN light are called 'TEST PILOTS'. Antonis Antoniou is referred to as ' Chief Test Pilot', so the the others are just ' test pilots'

disagree  D. Harvatis: Η FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) είναι υπηρεσία πολιτικής και όχι πολεμικής αεροπορίας. Flight test pilot σημαίνει "δοκιμαστής πιλότος πτήσης", που μάλλον είναι πλεονασμός.

Test Pilot


Explanation:
If 'Dokimastis Aeros' is meant , the Pilot who TRIES OUT the airworthiness of aircraft, either when on a new model's maiden flight or on repaired or updated old aircraft, then the term is just 'Test Pilot'.
This seems to be the correct term, as the phrase refers to 'Dokimastes aeros.......kai o Antonis Antoniou ine Kyvernitis Dokimastis Aeros', i.e. Chief Test Pilot
