Course detail: Advanced Topics in System Safety for Commercial Certification

Description
Advanced System Safety will elevate students' safety process acumen by diving deeper into the safety process and introducing a small cradle to grave project to provide practical experience in using the safety process to help design and develop the proper set of documentation for compliance to requirements. Advanced topics that will be addressed in this training will include:
  • Revisiting Functional Hazard Assessment addressing partial failure conditions, recursive introduction of functional monitors within the Functional Hazard Assessment, and severity substantiation strategies (test, analysis, etc.) along with Human Factors and Crew Contingency Aspects of mitigations.
  • Understanding undetectable failures in a design and how to address them in analysis. We will also discuss prevention strategies and common errors that could increase the potential for latency failures to be introduced in a design.
  • Advanced fault tree modeling techniques and the ability to practice on an industry grade fault tree software.

  • Learning Objectives
    • A deeper understanding of how Functional Hazard Assessment should be used to drive safety strategies within a design along with a better understanding of the relationship between human factor and the functionality built into the design.
    • Students will learn to manage undetectable failures both from a design mitigation aspect as well as how to create the proper inspection or test interval for compliance.
    • Students will learn the proper way to set up mathematical modeling for compliance (Fault Tree Analysis) as well as what to review and how to find modeling flaws when reviewing documentation for compliance.
    • Through a series of hands-on exercises, students will learn how the SAE ARP4761 and SAE ARP4754A processes can be effectively used together to support the development of safe systems for compliance.

    Who Should Attend?
    This training primarily targets aerospace companies developing aircraft and aeronautical technologies under the oversight of regulators. The training will benefit engineering teams associated with the design and the showing of compliance for a given design (aircraft, systems, or parts). Other segments of industry (such as space and autonomous vehicles) that do not have a strongly defined regulatory enforcement can also benefit from this training. It is recommended that you have taken the following course prior to taking this course:System Safety Assessment for Commercial Aircraft Certification.
