Flight Test Safety Committee
The purpose of the Flight Test Safety Committee (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 flight test profession's communication and coordination. History The Flight Test Safety Committee (FTSC) was formed 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). Several other additional organizations presently comprise the FTSC. Mission statement *To foster an interchange of information related to "flight test lessons learned", in order to reduce potential mishaps. *To promote an atmosphere of sharing "lessons learned" and "best practices" for risk reduction management. *To direct the effort of flight test safety through education. *To gather information to compile the database to accomplish the ...

Flight Test
Flight testing is a branch of aeronautical engineering that develops specialist equipment required for testing aircraft behaviour and systems. Instrumentation systems are developed using proprietary transducers and data acquisition systems. Data is sampled during the flight of an aircraft, or Atmosphere of Earth, atmospheric testing of launch vehicles and Reusable launch vehicle, reusable spacecraft. This data is validated for accuracy and analyzed before being passed to specialist engineering groups for further analysis to Verification and validation, validate the design of the vehicle. The flight test phase accomplishes two major tasks: 1) finding and fixing any Aeronautics, design problems and then 2) verification and validation, verifying and documenting the vehicle capabilities for government certification or customer acceptance. The flight test phase can range from the test of a single new system for an existing vehicle to the complete development and certification of a ...
