In 2012 the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) published its final report on the Gulfstream G-650 accident. The Flight Test Safety Committee (FTSC) was requested to respond to the NTSB’s recommendations from that report. Here is the response from the FTSC.
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.
