MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Terry E. Tomeny (F)
Boeing

tomenyAs we all get ready to head to San Diego, it's amazing how fast this year is going and we're now in the thick of the "symposia season".  I had the honor in February to attend an incredible Southeast Symposia with excellent attendance and some outstanding technical papers. Well done guys. And now that I'm a proud Boeing employee and up in the Northwest, I recently had the opportunity to join the Northwest Section for a "beer call" and meet several folks I've never had the pleasure to meet before. There seems to be lots of interest, wherever I go, in the Flight Test Wiki Site described below, which is very encouraging. I encourage you all to look into this and get involved with Dan Canin.  I'm excited to head to San Diego next week and hope to see many of you there. Tim McDonald has put together an outstanding event. Who could pass up meeting Jim Lovell?

Keep up the enthusiasm.

Flight Test Wiki

 At last year's annual symposium it was suggested in the Open Forum that SETP initiate a "wiki" to facilitate the exchange of flight test information between Society members.  Dan Canin (M) has agreed to chair a committee to establish the wiki and has set up a prototype wiki online.  The Board of Directors would like several highly motivated individuals who are passionate about the idea of using the internet in this way to join Dan in establishing this capability.  Please contact Dan at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you would like to help set the foundation of the wiki that could become the most important component of our Society in the future.

54th Symposium & Banquet
Disneyland Grand Californian Hotel
Anaheim, CA
22-25 September 2010

New Venue for Friday Night Reception!

The S&B committee is off the ground planning all of the details behind the 54th Annual Symposium and Banquet to be held at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel in Anaheim, CA 22-25 September 2010. ·The committee is changing the venue for the Friday night reception to Festival Arena located within Disneyland Park.·As a result, those attending this popular Friday night social gathering will have full access to the entire park and all of it's attractions from 5PM until the park closes at 12 PM, with a two hour dinner planned (exact times to be determined). ·Although we have all enjoyed Soaring Over California over the last several years, feedback from attendees has indicated that it might be time for a change. ·The new outdoor venue is considerably farther away from the Grand Californian, and the committee wants to ensure that transportation is available to those members who may need assistance to and from the new venue. ·Transportation will not be provided for all attendees of the Friday night reception, only those who require it. ·There will be provisions during the registration process to identify those members and their guests who desire to take advantage of this Disney provided service. ·You're not going to want to miss this year's Annual Symposium and Banquet. ·See you in Anaheim!···

SECTION NEWS

SOUTHEAST SECTION SYMPOSIUM

The SETP SE Section held its very successful 3rdAnnual Symposium on 4-5 February at the Ramada Plaza Beach Resort, Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The two-day event began with a well attended Thursday night reception.· On Friday over 80 members and interested parties in attendance were treated to 11 briefings split over morning and afternoon technical sessions.· Additionally Col Art ‘Turbo' Tomasetti, USMC (AF) delivered the thought-provoking lunchtime presentation, "Test Pilot 2040".·SETP President Terry Tomeny chaired the morning session consisting of the following excellent papers: "Time Safety Margin: A New Look at Dive Planning for Flight Test", Lt Col Bill Gray, USAF (Ret, AF), "New Approaches to BAL Loads Testing", John Sekas, USAF Seek Eagle Office, "Dropping the Bomb: A-10C JDAM Testing Failures", Maj Matthew Domsalla, USAF (PAM) and Capt Kirt Cassell, USAF, "Abort! Abort! Abort! Origins, Revisions and a Compelling Need to Change The Flutter Testing Uniform Abort Policy", Lt Col Mike Jansen, USAF (M). The fifth paper was a ‘blast from the past' presented by Larry Van Pelt entitled "The Affect of External Stores on Aircraft Stability" and was a welcome reprise of his National Symposium award winning paper from 1969.

Following a great lmarch2010newslette4rse_symunch and Turbo's colorful exploration of what test pilots might be doing in2040, the afternoon session was chaired by the 46 Test Wing Vice Commander, Col Evan Thomas, USAF (M). The session consisted of a further five absorbing papers: "Just Say "No" to Crack: A-10C Precision Engagement Modified Pylon Cracking Investigation", Maj Chris Seager, USAF (PAM) and Ellis Moser, 40 FLTS, "Tanker Tests With Typhoons: USAF KC-135/KC-10 & NATO Eurofighter Air Refueling Qualification Testing Over the Irish Sea", Maj Prospero Uybarreta, USAF (PAM), "T-38 Airframe and Engine Integration", Maj Matthew Berggren, USAF (PAM) and Capt Lane Haubelt, USAF, "Evaluation of Asymmetrical Roll Rates of the HH-60G Pavehawk Helicopter", Lt Col Paul Fiorenza, USAF and Maj Jeffrey Mabry, USAF (M), "Developmental Flight Testing of a Special Mission DeHavilland Canada Dash 8/102", Paul Schreck, SAIC (M) and Jesse Whitfield, SAIC, and "What Happens When the Safety Review Fails", Edward Curtis (M).

The judging committee awarded the best brief to Lt Col Fiorenza and Maj Mabry for their HH-60G paper, followed a close second by Lt Col Gray for his dive planning paper and third place went to Lt Col Jansen for his flutter abort policy paper. The SE Section Committee wishes to thank all of the presenters, attendees, sponsors and the SETP HQ staff for making this event so successful and look forward to more of the same at the 4th Annual Symposium next year.


NORTHWEST SECTION

aviationhsstudentsThe Northwest Section will be looking for a few good volunteers to speak at the Aviation High School in Seattle as part of our new outreach program. ·As reported in the last newsletter the school website address is http://www.avitionhs.org/pub/pub.aspx. ·In the mean time Loran Haworth and Kevin Greene (since several of us are employed by the FAA) are in discussions with the FAA education coordinator and SETP on how to establish an educational outreach partnership between SETP and the FAA. ·Thomas Twiggs is working with the Aviation High School's science teacher and Robert Stoney with the humanities teacher to outline requested support.· A future meeting is planned with the school's teachers to gain a better understanding of the school's curriculum and how SETP fits in.


 

WEST COAST

The West Coast Section of SETP had their inaugural beer call of 2010 on Fri February 26th.· The event was graciously hosted by the National Test Pilot School in Mojave and was attended by SFTE members as well as the current class at USAF TPS.· Around fifty people attended the beer call, including an extremely strong showing from the 416thFLTS at Edwards AFB.· The night started off with a tour of NTPS' numerous aircraft spread out across five hangers including the Saab Draken and the remarkable glass cockpit of the Cirrus SR22.· NTPS has 37 aircraft in their inventory, many of them with unique flying qualities chosen to effectively demonstrate flight test theory to the NTPS students.· Following the tour, NTPS Director Sean Roberts gave a short informative brief on NTPS' history and capabilities.·· Many thanks to Greg Lewis for working with the West Coast Section board members in organizing this event and to all the NTPS staff for helping out with cooking the burgers on the BBQ.· Good food, a few beers and some great discussions about aircraft and flight test made for a fantastic evening and will hopefully encourage some of the upcoming TPS graduates to join SETP.· The West Coast Section plans to rotate the beer call between NTPS, NAWC China Lake and Edwards AFB over the next year to maximize participation by all the test pilots in the area.· Scaled Composites has also offered to let us in the hanger sometime this year, so when that event is announced, make sure you mark it on your calendar.· Finally, don't forget to register for the annual San Diego Symposium coming up at the end of March.·

march2010newsletterdanniesloneDannie D. Slone (M), passed away on September 28, 2009 just after his 67thbirthday.· Dannie received his private pilot certificate at age 17.· During the Viet Nam war, he served two tours on aircraft carriers Constellation and Coral Sea where he was a plane captain and mechanic; then used his military service and the GI Bill to earn an aeronautical engineering degree and multi-engine airplane ratings that furthered his flying career.

He accepted his first engineering position at McDonnell Douglas, and then worked as a flight instructor and line pilot flying deHavilland Heron Commuter airliners.· Later he became a Fixed Base Operation's Manager and co-pilot on DC-3's for weather modifications.· He then joined the Ted Smith Aerostar Company as a Test Pilot for the Aerostar series of airplanes in California and Florida.· In 1983 he was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration as a Flight Test Pilot in Aircraft Certification where he served until his passing.· Dannie graduated from civilian test pilot schools at the University of Tennessee Space Institute and National Test Pilot School.· He was a Certified Flight Instructor and held types ratings the Douglas DC-3; Douglas DC-9; Fairchild Metro; Gulfstream G-II; and Cessna Citation series, Learjet series and Dassault Falcon series of business jets.· During his 26 years of public service, Dannie contributed to initial development and certification of various safety enhancements in aircraft avionics systems such as Flight Management, Autopilots, Windshear Detection, Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning, Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance (TCAS), and advanced Air Data Computers in support of initial Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum qualifications.· Dannie also flew FAA Flight Tests in the Peoples Republic of China.· He logged thousands of hours flying various types of small and large general aviation and transport category airplanes; with reciprocating, turboprop and jet engines.

For the past fifteen years Dannie also served as the FAA Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office Flight Safety Officer and Flight Program Coordinator, responsible for maintaining the currency, proficiency and safety of all FAA Flight Test Pilots and Flight Test Engineers.· As Dannie often has said, no other job would have offered him the opportunity to have such a profound effect on aviation safety.· His career concluded during the safest period in US aviation history.· Clearly, his contributions have had a significant and continuing effect on global aviation and aviation safety.

Dannie is survived by his wife of 41 years, Diana and two sons: Trevor and Devlin.
