At present we are offering the following courses in this area of expertise:
SGS-201: Safety assessment of aircraft systems
Description
The course aims at presenting the fundamentals of safety assessment in aerospace system design, as well as to provide familiarization with requirements, procedures and documents related to aircraft certification.
Objectives
- Provide an overview of safety assessment methods related to aeronautical systems
- Provide insights on specific certification requirements (RBHA/FAR/CS 25 1309) and their means of compliance
- Discuss the key design criteria, systems architecture and engineering tools as defined by SAE ARP 4761
- Assess aviation failures in general and, in particular the most potentially dangerous (rotor non-containment, lightning strikes, bird strikes etc.)
- Develop the concept of in-service reliability control (continued airworthiness), as well as the role of maintenance in preserving the inherent aircraft design safety level
Program
- Certification Requirements RBHA/FAR/CS 25 1309
- Basic notions and general principles of systems architecture - the fail-safe design criteria
- Lessons learned
- Failures Modes
- Common mode failures: rotor non-containment, bird/lightning strikes, etc
- Systems Assessment - introduction, concept of functions and assessment types
