Thales will coordinate the Final FLYSAFE EC review at the 16th and 17th of June in Toulouse. All partners, the EC officer and reviewers are invited to review the achievements of the project in 4 and a half years of good progress and cooperation. This EC review will mark the end of this successful project which generated a lot of innovations and which gave several impulses to other projects as well. FLYSAFE is proud of it's achievements and of the good cooperation and team spirit which was maintained all the time.
The final FLYSAFE dissemination forum combined with the FLYSAFE presentation day was held on the 25th to 26th of March 2009 at the NLR premises in Amsterdam. The forum has been an event of broad communication and exchange of information. Many current topics in the field of safety in the air traffic system have intensely been debated. Many synergies between various research activities and FLYSAFE have been addressed. Read on

On 25th and 26th of March 2009 the FLYSAFE final forum will be held at the NLR premises in Amsterdam. The aim of this Forum is to disseminate the FLYSAFE publishable results to the aeronautics research community and inform the forum guests on the projects achievements. This conference will be a living experience with presentations and demonstrations including simulator tours that show parts of the FLYSAFE test setup. Read on
September 2008: In a period of two months a series of flight tests with two differents aircraft has been performed. The Metro II research aircraft of NLR and the Safire test aircraft of Météo France flew in different areas over the Netherlands, Germany, France and Spain to come as close as possible to adverse weather situations like thunderstorms and icing. Both flight tests have yielded a great amount of data, which is now being analysed. In addition these flights marked the first...Read on
10th of July: The pilot evaluation of the NG ISS at THALES in Toulouse has been completed and the NG ISS components are now sent to Amsterdam to be integrated into NLRs research flight simulator GRACE. Over a period of ten months all components have been tested and verified to ensure the proper function of all parts. Finally the experienced integration Team of Thales made the big step forward to get the full NG ISS running and to evaluate it in four sessions with several Pilots from Adria Airways, Use2Aces, Air Malta, AvTech, Deep Blue and test pilots from Dassault. This marks a major step in the progress of FLYSAFE.
THALES coordinated the sixth formal review of the FLYSAFE project on 12 and 13 March 2008 at the University of Hanover. The majority of the thirty-six project participants and the European Commission were represented at the review.
At the time of this review out of 127 work packages 72 were closed, 50 were running and 5 still had to be started. There is still one and a half years to go before the project end and the progress is well as expected.
On the first of March 2008 Météo-France completed the winter flight tests with a Safire ATR 42 research aircraft. The objective was to test new onboard sensors like the LIDAR and to evaluate through in situ atmospheric measurements the WIMS predictions of weather phenomena. The flight tests will be continued in summer 2008 to assess different weather situations.
The External Experts Advisory Group (EEAG) supports the project with external knowledge which helps to improve the FLYSAFE results by taking into account the experience of stakeholders, pilots and ATC people which are not part of the FLYSAFE consortium. In total 4 EEAG meetings have been held, each with a different focus. The final EEAG meeting focussed on human factor issues that could be solved during the integration phase of FLYSAFE. A lot of positive feedback was received and several points for optimisation were taken. The fact that this was the last EEAG meeting does not mean that this is the end of the EEAG. Further involvement of EEAG pilots and ATC controllers is foreseen for example during the evaluations of the different NG ISS components and the main task evaluation at NLR.
THALES coordinated the fifth formal review of the FLYSAFE project on 10 and 11 October 2007 at the UK Met Office in Exeter. At the time of this review out of 127 work packages 44 were closed, 74 were running and 9 still had to be started. During this review meeting the consortium presented the way how to conduct the upcoming major project milestone Traffic Part Tast Evaluation (PTE). The FLYSAFE consortium is optimistic to meet the high expectations and finish their task on time.
| THALES coordinated the second formal review of the FLYSAFE project on 8 and 9 March 2006 at NLR in Amsterdam. The majority of the thirty-six project participants and the European Commission were represented at the review. With air traffic expected to triple over the period 2000-2020, the European Commission and the ACARE (Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe), which helps the Commission define its priorities in this area, have identified sustainable aviation safety as a major...
