OKAY...
I started this blog in an effort to enable folks who were in various stages of test planning or test execution to be aware of others who might be able to help them test safely. Yes, I recognize that many "company" flight test processes and techniques are close-hold and/or proprietary. It is also obvious that many will have zero interest in broadcasting their test results. On the other hand, for the same reason that organizations like SETP, SFTE, and the Flight Test Safety Committee hold large meetings to discuss tests in progress, it is my hope that this could be another resource where people (who may not belong to those organizations) could begin to tap into the flow of expertise. If you are planning a test and are NOT affiliated with any of these organizations, I strongly urge you to consider joining. They can save your program... and maybe your life.
If you are on a test program and do not ever see it mentioned here, remember that everything I find is via some kind of search engine. These engines generally key on words in electronic press releases or news reports. This is not a Justin Beiber blog that gets thousands of hits a day, but it IS getting hundreds per week. If you would like at least a passing mention, suggest to your PR folks that they issue an occasional press-release, otherwise you will remain under our radar.
Thanks for checking in!
