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.

Flight Test Safety Fact 26-03

New! Flight Test Safety Fact Newsletter

“Houston, we have a problem!” To continue a thread from last month’s inspirational Apollo observations, I feel it’s necessary to announce that many of our young professionals don’t know the iconic movie quote or the story of Apollo 13. That problem will have to wait until a future month, because this month features another cultural artifact, a reader submitted a story inspired by one of the great early pilot authors. 

Other cultural references include famous robots (AI) from the past.

If I had room, I would have introduced fine art as well, but since I don’t, let me recommend The Empty Desk at the SFTE-EC website (the old one).

Please write us back to let us know you read this issue, shared it, or wanted to reply with a suggestion.

Sincerely,

Mark Jones Jr.
