Flight Test Safety Committee

The Flight Test Safety Committee (FTSC) was formed jointly in November 1994 by members of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots (SETP), the Society of Flight Test Engineers (SFTE) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). These and numerous additional organizations presently comprise the FTSC. The purpose of the FTSC is to initiate and sustain a flight test related safety organization intended to promote flight safety, reduce the risk of mishap, promote risk reduction management and continually improve the profession's communication and coordination.

The V-22 Integrated Test Team at Patuxent River routinely conducts high risk flight tests requiring deliberate and time critical risk management. In a combined effort between pilots and test directors, Jonathan Lindsey and Michael Remaly from Boeing evolved a proven process of risk management to significantly improve safety during test flights with telemetry monitoring. By expanding the safety process to include all telemetry personnel, they established greater ownership of the safety culture within the test team by recognizing and emphasizing the impact that all telemetry personnel have to safe flight testing. Their leadership and proactive dedication have continued to advance a culture of safety within the team that is committed to consistent improvement and sharing of best practices within the flight test community.
