The goal of this course is to provide practical knowledge of system safety requirements according to the certification rule 2X.1309. The basic principle as well as criteria to the methods for analyzing systems regarding safety are being reviewed. Furthermore, the validation and verification process is being taught.
A deep review of the well known industry best practice for system safety SAE ARP 4761 and system safety aspects of ARP 4754A is also part of the course.
The allocation of safety requirements and assigning development assurance levels are trained.
With this course, attendees will be able to apply principles of system safety to any aircraft certification activity. Furthermore, the participants are able to adapt the taught content to any system safety process.
After conclusion of this course flight test engineers are able to understand the concept of a safety assessment, while system engineers have the ability to independently conduct a safety assessment.
