2025 Flight Test Safety Workshop
6-7 May 2025
Greensboro, NC

The Flight Test Safety Committee, a joint committee of SFTE, AIAA, and SETP, is pleased to announce that the North American Flight Test Safety Workshop will be held 6-7 May 2025 in Greensboro, NC.

A Tutorial will be held on Tuesday 6 May, followed by a Technical Tour of HondaJet. Technical presentations will be held on Wednesday 7 May followed by an Award Dinner where the Dave Houle Best Paper Award, Tony LeVier Flight Test Safety Award and our new Flight Test Safety Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented. 

The Tutorial theme for the 2025 Flight Test Safety Workshop will be Brilliance In the Basics which will focus on the foundational basics of safe and effective flight testing by reinforcing the critical fundamentals including organizational structure, processes and procedures, safety leadership, risk management, and safety culture.  This Tutorial is designed for participants of all experience levels.  Participants from emerging test organizations should depart the workshop with a stronger understanding of how to build that brilliant flight-testing organization that effectively manages risk, safely and productively executes hazardous flight tests, and promotes a safety culture that ensures all team members feel empowered to raise concerns. Participants that come from established organizations will not only have the opportunity to help mentor and assist those new entrants to flight test, but also will undoubtedly find ideas and fresh perspectives that can be applied to further improve their core principles of flight testing.

REMINDER: You do not have to be an SETP , SFTE, or AIAA Member to attend the Workshop, so please share with your flight test colleagues.

 The registration site will be available soon!
