www.nlr.nlFTSC - Flight Deck Design and Human-Machine Interface

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.

The Flight Test Safety Committee is sponsoring a Flight Test Safety Workshop on 29-30 October 2013 at the auditorium of the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR in Amsterdam. The purpose of the Safety Workshop is to provide an open forum where test safety issues can be presented, discussed and probed with other members and disciplines of the flight test community. The theme of the workshop is “Flight Deck Design and Human-Machine Interface”.

Registration for the Workshop can be done online through the SETP website www.setp.org

“FLIGHT TESTING NEW FLIGHT DECK DESIGNS AND HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACES"

Flight Testers are given more and more advanced aircraft and –systems. Their tasks expand to include evaluation of these systems, and therefore the operational suitability of the Human-Machine Interface, for future use in an operational environment.

Presenters are encouraged to submit abstracts on the following topics, related to Flight Testing and Flight Test Design and HMI:

• Aircraft controllability• Flight- and Systems Displays• Automation• Controls (inceptors)• Layout• HMI (evaluation) concepts• Training the Test Pilot / Flight Test Engineer

Presentations should be limited to approximately 30-45 minutes, including a discussion period. No proceedings are published; therefore, formal written papers are not required. Those interested in presenting please send paper/presentation proposals to the 2013 European Flight Test Safety Workshop Chairman, via email to Laurie@setp.org or eftsw2013@nlr.nl. Also, any questions regarding submitting an abstract may be directed to this mail address. The deadline for abstracts is 13 September 2013 to allow time for appropriate consideration and inclusion in the program.

WORKSHOP PROGRAMThe workshop strives to create an open atmosphere, where discussions are a

central part of the program. The Technical Sessions provide the opportunity

to share information and learn from Lessons Learned, the Social Program

is important for further discussions with your flight test collegues in a

more relaxed setting. In addition, a Technical Tour is arranged on Thursday,

October 31, to the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) Rotary Test Wing

at Gilze-Rijen (GZR) AFB. This year the RNLAF is commemorating its 100th

anniversary.
