According to council chair Al Lawless, the group has been formed in response to the rapidly increasing volume of flight testing being conducted on new “large-scale” electric aircraft.
In his view, many of the pioneers in advanced air mobility are startup companies that have limited connections within the aviation industry and are not connected with industry associations’ efforts to share best practices.

That was ok for smaller aircraft being developed under the Part 107 (55 pound) limit, but with aircraft masses and energies increasing, the time has come for professional societies to purposefully reach out to new-generation flight testers.
