The flight test safety efforts are conducted by the Flight Test Safety Committee
Flight Test Safety Committee Web Page
Vision
- To increase the safety and efficiency of the aerospace profession, both civilian and military, as well as the dependability and reliability of aerospace vehicles.
- To promote and enhance flight test safety, thereby preventing accidents and loss of life.
- To insure the aerospace vehicle prototypes that make it into production are as safe as possible.
- To use the knowledge and experience of all SETP members to promote flight test safety for the benefit of future generations.
Goals
- Hold a minimum of four symposia annually focusing on promoting air safety by presenting test pilots’ experiences and opinions; evaluating the adequacy of flight test equipment; exchanging information for development of improved testing techniques; providing education on techniques of escape and survival; addressing newly experienced phenomena in the realm of flight, and fostering an interchange of information related to flight test lessons learned in order to reduce potential mishaps.
- Conduct annual workshops to provide an open forum where flight test safety issues can be presented, discussed, and probed with other members and disciplines of the aerospace community; promote and provide education regarding flight safety to reduce the risk of mishap; promote risk reduction management and assimilate the information in a computer-based system to provide worldwide access for educational purposes, and to share “best practices” with the entire aerospace community.
