 The Flight Research Training Center, established by the Alliance for Flight Safety Research in Roswell, NM, focuses on improving the safety of commercial air transportation in an effort to reduce the Loss-of-Control accident rate. The Alliance is developing new pilot training methods and technologies to teach pilots how to better cope with upset events that can lead to a Loss-of-Control accident. The primary goals of this program are to conduct research to optimize In-Flight Simulation (IFS) based Upset Recovery Training (URT), such that it meets the needs of the civilian aviation community; to design and develop IFS technology and systems specifically for the URT role; and ultimately, to have a beneficial impact on the Loss-of-Control accident rate.
The Alliance for Flight Safety Research developed the concept for the Flight Research Training Center as a joint government-industry-university initiative. The alliance has five founding members: the CUBRC, Calspan Corporation, Eastern New Mexico University Roswell, the City of Roswell, NM and the New Mexico State Department of Transportation.
