This year’s Flight Test Safety Workshop hit on a lot of great concepts, lessons and ideas.  You can check them out in the link below.  There was a common theme through several of the talks and that is how culture affects our decisions and our attitude towards safety.  I will also discuss an accident from half a century ago that had a lasting impact on aviation.
