8th European Flight Test Safety Workshop - Call for Papers

Call for Papers

8th European Flight Test Safety Workshop

Airbus Defence and Space, Manching, Germany

4-6 November 2014

 

Theme:   Management of Risks in Flight Test.

The aim of the workshop is to exchange experience and ideas of how the flight test community has mastered the management of risks and safety in what is, by its very nature, an activity which involves deliberately taking risks.  How the optimum methodology differs from that of the standard Safety Management System will be addressed.

 

This event will be in the style of a workshop and we expect plenty of audience participation and discussion.

To start the proceedings we are looking for short presentations of 10-15 minutes from as many test organisations as possible on how they manage their risks and safety.

1. How we do it.

The presentations should give a brief outline of:

  • Organisation structure
  • Responsibilities
  • Risk assessment tools
  • Incident reporting tools
  • Etc.

For the further sessions we are looking for classic presentations of 20-25 minutes with 5 minutes for questions on the following themes:

2. Risk management lessons learnt from incidents or accidents
3. Examples of current or past test campaigns and how the risks were managed
4. The future. What changes in culture and technology will affect our management of risks

 

Abstracts should be not more than 150 words. For the “How we do it” section a simple offer to present will suffice.
