The annual Flight Test Safety Workshop just wrapped up a week of presentations in Arizona. During that time, the FTSC presented the annual Tony Levier Flight Test Safety Award. While the timeline for the event and the presentation of the award did not coincide ideally with the publication of the FTN, the Committee members did encourage us to publicize the annual conference and award. It’s not too soon to start thinking about next years Workshop—often the approval process at many OEMs will require a year of lead time.
The website announcement for both the workshop and the award is flightestsafety.org.
Bill Jaconetti, who chairs the Safety Committee for the SFTE Board of Directors, was present at the conference.
