Welcome to SETP

Introduction

The Society of Experimental Test Pilots is an international organization that seeks to promote air safety and contributes to aeronautical advancement by promoting sound aeronautical design and development; interchanging ideas, thoughts and suggestions of the members, assisting in the professional development of experimental pilots, and providing scholarships and aid to members and the families of deceased members.

SETP Election of Officers Results for 2025-2026

The votes are in. The results of the SETP Election of Officers to serve on the 2025/2026 Board of Directors are:

William "Condor" Koyama (AF) was elected as President-Elect.  Condor will assume the Office of President of the Society in September 2026.

Dan Hinson (F) was elected as Vice President

Klas Ohman (AF) was elected as Secretary

Michael Lippert (M) was elected as Treasurer

Glenn Graham (AF) was elected as Legal Officer

Once again, I’d like to thank everyone that ran on the ballot. The next step in our procedure is to elect section leadership. I encourage all our Members to consider serving SETP locally. Section Chairpersons will then appoint Section Representatives who, along with Officer-appointed Technical Advisers, will complete the 19-member Board of Directors to be installed during our Annual Business Meeting in Anaheim on 27 September 2025.

Congratulations,

Kelly Latimer (F)
Chair, Nominating Committee and
President-Elect 2024-2025
