Abstract

Although well-established and used countless times successfully in support of certifying many different aircraft, there are still aspects of the safety assessment process commonly used in aviation which can be improved.
A lot of the methodology and the techniques used in aviation safety are applicable to other industries, including space. This paper highlights the good, the bad and the ugly of aviation safety based on the authors’ experience and makes proposals for lessons learned, the principles of which, can be read across to any domain. The complexity of today’s aviation programs is increasing, with the greater reliance on software and complex electronics and the greater number of work-sharing partners.
This means it is more important than ever before to take a pro-active approach and review the now-traditional safety assessment techniques / methods in order to maximize confidence, effectiveness and efficiency.
