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.

Have you subscribed to the Flight Test Safety Podcast? You can find instructions inside this month's newsletter. We'd like your feedback on the podcast as well as suggestions for future episodes.
Also this month, Ben Luther and Jeff Canclini share a conversation they've been having, back and forth, for almost a full year about complexity and chaos, risk and flight test safety. The authors introduce another paper about these topics you should read: The author, Bob Barham, allowed us to share that paper with you, and you can find it as an attachment inside this month's newsletter, as pictured here.
Finally, remember that there's less than a month until nominations for the Levier Award are due, and you can find out how to inside this issue.
Please share this with someone who may not receive it, and send any feedback to us. (Don't confuse those two.)
Sincerely,
Mark Jones Jr.
Editor
