The 24^th SFTE European Chapter Symposium will be held at DLR, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, premises in Braunschweig, Germany, from the 11^th to the 13^th of June 2013.

Please read all about the symposium in the
Symposium Brochure.

The symposium theme is "Defeating Murphy’s Law in Flight Test”.

In flight test sometimes the most unlikely things happen. Who would have known that a simple series of pitot static tests would have to be stalled twice in two consecutive years because of volcano eruptions and that the pitot statics aircraft – DLR’s Falcon 20 - would be known today as Volcano Ash Hunter. But it does not require a volcano - sometimes it’s just the regular stuff like the weather, technical problems, the technician who goes skiing and breaks his leg the day before the campaign or request for visit forms which magically vanish. It can be the high risk testing which works out just fine and at the very moment when everyone thinks you’re done something completely unrelated to the test goes wrong.
