FAILURE MODES AND EFFECTS ANALYSISFailure Mode and Effect Analysis is a bottom-up risk analysis technique used to identify potential failures in which each basic component of the system could fail. The standard ARP4761...
8 steps to perform a FMEA analysis
WHAT IS FMEA OR FMECA?Failure Mode and Effect Analysis is a bottom-up risk analysis technique used to identify potential failures in which each basic component of the system could fail. Thereafter, the effects of these...
What are the dirty dozen factors that may lead to catastrophic consequences in aviation?
In recent years, the emergence in mass culture of the phrase "human factors related" indicates that accidents are often not due to a single cause, but almost always to a chain of events triggered by several factors. In...
Cybersecurity requirements for airborne systems
In the past years, the aircraft systems and components have increased the data connections between them. These connections are delicate links susceptible to security threats. This is the major reason EASA started to...
10 steps to achieving Specific Operations Risk Assessment
Safety is a key parameter in design which shall be considered since the very beginning of any Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) design development in order to obtain authorisation to fly. Unexpected losses of communication...
How is safety engineering integrated in the design process of aerospace products?
System and safety engineers: best friends forever The purpose of a safety engineer is to ensure that aerospace engineered systems provide acceptable levels of safety according, not only to regulations, but also to...
