Description:

Flight Test Safety Workshop
3-5 May 2022
Palm Beach Gardens Marriott

4000 RCA Blvd
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410

The Flight Test Safety Committee (FTSC), in conjunction with The Society of Experimental Test Pilots (SETP) and the Society of Flight Test Engineers (SFTE), will hold the North American Flight Test Safety Workshop on 3 - 5 May 2022 in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The purpose of the Safety Workshop is to provide an open forum where flight test safety issues can be presented, discussed and probed with other members and disciplines of the flight test community. Mr. Glen Knaust and Bill Fell are coordinating the event.

The theme of the workshop is “Can organizational culture play a factor in flight test safety?”

Organizations each have their own unique cultural attributes, but which of those contribute to an environment of enhanced flight test safety? Conversely, what organizational environmental characteristic create adverse climate and the potential for reduced overall safety? For those organizations that have a Safety Management System (SMS) or aspire to implement/mature a SMS, the 2022 edition of the FTSW will explore how culture underpins an effective SMS and safer flight test operations.

Attendees will leave the Workshop with exemplary Policy statement examples, and we’ll work together to formulate reasonable and meaningful objectives that could be used in your flight test organization to boost safety emphasis and improve performance. For the technical paper presentation portion of the Workshop, we will hear from testers on their experiences regarding organizational factors – both good or bad – that played a role in the conduct of flight testing.
