Type Certification (TC) System Safety Assessment

This course provides engineers with the knowledge and practical skills required to plan, perform and document system safety assessments in support of type certification and design changes of large aeroplanes, in accordance with CS 25.1309 and the recognised industry standards ARP4754B and ARP4761A. By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

1. Explain the regulatory basis of system safety assessment within type certification

2. Classify failure conditions and apply the probability and severity relationship

3. Apply the ARP4754B development process and assign Development Assurance Levels

4. Perform FHA, PASA/PSSA, SSA and Common Cause Analysis in accordance with ARP4761A

5. Construct and quantify Fault Trees and perform FMEA / FMES

6. Understand safety assessment for software, airborne electronic hardware and information security

7. Derive Certification Maintenance Requirements and MMEL inputs from safety analyses

8. Prepare safety assessment documentation acceptable to EASA
