Flight Test Safety and Risk Management

Abstract

This AGARDograph investigates the current approaches across the NATO Nations in the field of Flight Test Safety and Risk Management. It originates from a view held by the NATO STO Flight Test Technical Team (FT3) that there was broadly common process and a wish to demonstrate this through capturing examples of practice and analysing them. This became the mission of Task GroupSCI-236 and this AGARDograph records the findings. It offers examples of practice captured in a broadly common format from a representative sample of Flight Test Organisations and an analysis of their content. It concludes that the views of FT3 are substantiated and that at the baseline level there is significant commonality of approach in relation to people, process, facilities and tools. Detailed content is clearly different, but the similarities offer a framework that can be used to support those embarking upon the creation of a Flight Test Safety Management System or desiring to compare and contrast an existing one.
