Applied Safety Assessment Workshop

Applied Safety Assessment Workshop The Applied Safety Assessment Workshop is designed to provide delegates with both the skills and practical experience in conducting a comprehensive aircraft System Safety Assessment.

Why this course? Course overview Delegates will carry out safety analyses on a system installed on an aircraft using drawings, schematics and the actual aircraft. These analyses will form an integral part of the workshop objective of producing a comprehensive System Safety Assessment. Delegates will work in groups to conduct the System Safety Assessment and to produce an industry standard report. The course brings together considerable expertise of R.G.W Cherry and Associates and Cranfield University to deliver a level of practical training that is world-class.

Learning outcomes
 On completion of the module the student will be able to: • Explain the application of the main techniques for safety assessment 
 • Critically evaluate the functions of an aircraft system from a safety perspective and select the most appropriate analytical technique • Conduct a variety of System Safety Assessment analysis methods in an applied context • Plan the different aspects of a System Safety Assessment, allocating team tasks and resources as
appropriate. Course delivery The course takes the form of a series of hands-on tutorials to describe the process and techniques involved, over 4.5 days. All delegates will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the course.

Who should attend? The course is designed for personnel from all parts of the aviation industry although it will be of particular value to those working for manufacturers, suppliers, operators and aviation authorities who are concerned with the design, reliability, safety or certification of aircraft systems. Having previously attended Cranfield’s Safety Assessment of Aircraft Systems course would be of benefit, however it is not essential.

Course content The course is designed with a strong practical element to the teaching and will cover the following elements: Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) The FHA exercise will identify the critical failure conditions of the system. Each group will classify the failure conditions in accordance with the 25.1309 categories and identify the analysis techniques most appropriate to each.

Zonal Safety Analysis Delegates will carry out a Zonal Safety Analysis on the aircraft zones in which the system is installed. At the end of the workshop delegates will present the results of their team-work.

Particular Risks The Particular Risks appropriate to the system and its installation will also be addressed as appropriate. Enhanced Fault Tree Analysis (EFTA) The groups will carry out an Enhanced Fault Tree Analysis for the failure conditions identified by the FHA as being appropriate to this analytical technique. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) This exercise will use existing system drawings in order to perform FMEA on the aircraft system.
