The Society of Experimental Test Pilots

Virtual Symposium – 16 April 2021

Due to the cancelation of individual Section events, SETP will host a Virtual Symposium on 16 April 2021 to continue the Society’s mission of sharing lessons learned within the flight test community.  The purpose of this Symposium is to share the knowledge gained in the course of planning, execution and documentation of flight test activities.  The intent of the Symposium is to help prevent re-learning of hard lessons through cross pollination of the ideas and discoveries from our seemingly different, yet similar and related areas of flight test.

Each technical presentation selected is given a 35-minute slot - 25 minutes for the presentation and 10 minutes for any questions/discussion from the virtual audience.  If you have any questions, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..   Thank you and we hope you'll join this event!

As soon as it is safe and reasonable to do so, we will begin hosting in-person events again to continue the networking and camaraderie with our esteemed Members!
