Big news that came out of the Flight Test Safety Workshop is the return of the Flight Test Safety Database (FTSDB), under our LLM enabled tool SAFETY NET. This has been a high priority for the board, and I am delighted to say the initial rollout has occurred. If you visit our home page flighttestsafety.org and click on search in the top right corner, you will see an option for the Paper Database Search Tool. Select that and it will take you to our two search tools. The tools are selectable by the drop-down menu in the top left corner. The first is the previously released FTSC Paper search tool that will look through our resources and videocasts to try and answer your query. The second is the new Test Hazard Analysis tool. As part of the initial rollout, the THAs are only the ones that were previously available in the FTSDB, but we have plans to add a process to submit and add more THAs to the database in the future. Another critical element is the feedback option in the top right corner. Please provide feedback on either tool so we can continue to tweak the LLM prompting and make it more useful to our community.
Getting a FTSDB replacement up and running is long overdue and I appreciate your patience as we worked through the technical challenges. I am excited about how these two tools will grow and expand in the future, helping to capture those previous lessons learned we might have otherwise missed. As always, feel free to reach out to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you have any questions or comments.
