- FSG group meeting - January 20th, 2024.
- We successfully hosted the RAeS Flight Simulation Group (FSG) meeting at Cranfield, marking a significant revival after a four-year hiatus due to COVID. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support and collaboration from my department and human factor colleagues. The meeting turned out to be both enjoyable and incredibly productive, setting a positive momentum for the future. We look forward to enhancing the FSG activities in the coming months (FSG meeting at Cranfield).
