Discussion Topic: Integrated Government-Contractor Testing, Testing in a Resource Constrained Environment and Other Issues Affecting Industry and Government Flight Test Management.

Marquee questions: What is the most significant challenge with integrated testing? What do you see as the top efficiencies gained from integrated testing? What is the impact of integrating operational test into developmental test? Should there be a separation between testing done by contractors and testing done by the Government? What do you see as top areas where risk is increased because resources are limited and how do you manage it? How do you answer the question "we test too much"? What are your ideas on sacrificing build-up test points in order to save schedule? What do you measure in order to manage a flight test program to ensure success?

The Test Management Panel is a discussion of relevant issues affecting of the management of multiple test programs with the leaders military test wings, industry Chief Test Pilots and those who have oversight of multiple test programs and teams.

The goal of this panel is to bring interested parties together and discuss relevant topics in a public forum, to educate and improve communication among members of the Society and the flight test profession.

MILITARY APPROVAL vs. CIVIL CERTIFICATION FLIGHT TESTING
Sorrel Room

Moderator: Jim Richmond (AF), FAA

Panel members: Guy Thiel (AF), FAA, Rod Huete (AF), FAA (Ret.), Tom Archer (AF), FAA, Charles Gebhardt (F), Jeff Borton (M), FAA.

Discussion Topics: Introduction of Military Approval vs. Civil Certification Flight Testing, differentiate between MCDA and strictly military, military certification, civil certification process, C-17 briefing, Organizational Delagation Authorization, and the Boeing Delegated Compliance Organization.

Marquee Questions: What are the benefits to civil certification of a military aircraft? Why would the military want a type certificate on a military airplane? What are the challenges to overcome in a civil certification?

TEST PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Trillium room

Moderator: Roger Beazley (F), ETPS

Panel members:

Marquee Questions: What skill and competencies will be required? What level and depth of knowledge will be needed? Will OT and DT training needs coalesce in the future? Will the focus move away from handling qualities testing? Will multi skilled “Experimental” training remain the standard? Will ex military test pilots and other test professionals continue to flow into civil testing? Will manufacturers and certificators require more specialized training? Will regulation require different skills and competencies from military training? Will the cost of specialized training dictate a different approach? Are all the military test skills transferable to the civilian test environment?
