Videocast: A Historical Case Study of Why the FTSC Exists (Flight Test CRM)

Rod Huete, Flight Test & Safety Consultants, LLC
Originally presented at the FTSW in May 2023

Hosted by BOMBARDIER

Thu July 20th
1730-2000 CST

Videocast will start at approximately 1830 CST.
Moderated question period with Rod to follow. Should be a great discussion!

Paper abstract:
During the birth of the Flight Test Safety Committee (FTSC), vintage early 1990s, a T&E CRM program was developed at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) simultaneously. This program was beneficial to the AFFTC but was not widely known to the flight test communityingeneral. Rod Huete with John Nance made a T&E CRM presentation at the SETP S&B in 1993 pointing out the benefits of such program citing several real examples of close calls due to lack of CRM among test crews.

On January 19th, 1995, two years later, NASA (Dryden) lost one of their X-31 fighter demonstrators in an accident where there were several T&E CRM issues contributing to the accident.

The presentation will depict, via videos, a comparison between the AFFTC T&E CRM program and the similar events that contributedto the X-31 accident. The question for us today is: how relevant are our CRM programs to the test & evaluation team concept?

The Scott R. Foster Award was established by the Central Section of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots in 2019. Scott was an individual who promoted team excellence from his position as an Engineering Test Pilot.  His subtle sense of humor and desire to develop the skills of others made him a natural mentor and an encourager.  His intense desire to find solutions led to many innovations in aircraft design and the execution of flight test.

The Scott Foster award was established to honor the memory of Scott and recognize flight test professionals from the Central Section who have made significant contributions in at least one of the three areas that exemplified Scott’s flight test work: leadership, mentoring and innovation.

Selection Criteria

  • The Central Section will solicit its members annually for nominations of the flight test team member who best demonstrates:
    1. Leadership, or contributions to a flight test team’s spirit and morale, and/or,
    2. Effective mentoring of less experienced test team members (not necessarily in an official leadership role), and/or
    3. Demonstrated exceptional innovation/improvements in aircraft design or flight test execution.
  • Selection will be made by an award committee composed of at least three Central Section SETP members approved by the Central Section Board.

Nomination Criteria

  • The period of performance for the nomination is not limited to the award year.
  • Nominations should be submitted to the SETP Central Section Board by October 1 of each year. This timing allows selection and notification of the recipient in time for award presentation at the Central Section Holiday Party, generally held in December.
  • Nominations may be submitted by individual Central Section SETP members. (Note:  While an SETP member must submit the nomination, the nominee may be a non-member.) 
  • Nominations are limited to two pages.

The Award

The award will consist of an individual plaque bearing the recipient's name.  Recognition of this award will be given during the Central Section’s annual symposium.  Additionally, appropriate recognition may appear in COCKPIT
