This proposal by the Society of Flight Test Engineers aims to develop an international certification program for Flight Test Engineers (FTEs). By enhancing FTE qualifications, we strive to elevate the standards in flight testing and ensure excellence in engineering practices. The program's presentation includes insights from a panel of experts from military, corporate, and academic backgrounds, discussing the importance of certification, methods of implementation, and gathering feedback from attendees. Join us in shaping the future of flight test engineering!
