The Flight Test Safety Committee has added COVID-19 Resources to their website. Check them out here: http://flighttestsafety.org/web-links
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 20-04
I truly hope this newsletter finds you well. Everyone feels the effects of the crisis that has gripped the world, and as you probably know, the FTSC has postponed the Workshop in Denver until 2021. You can find out more details inside, in the Chairman's Corner, and it includes his request for your input: Do you want a remote Workshop? Are you listening to the podcast? What topics do you want to read or hear more about?
Since it's likely you have some extra time on your hands, I've included a more lengthy discussion on a topic that is woven into the fabric of almost everything in this modern age: Big Data. We collect more data. Our computers can process more data. There is more data. So what? That's the question we try to answer inside.
As always, you can contact me directly by email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
