Two-day classroom course for managers and authorities on developing flight-critical systems: complex-system properties, human factors, the safety and reliability trade-off, civil aviation certification, and ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C and DO-254 from a management view.
Addresses the key control factors for managers developing flight-critical systems, and how human factors influence technical decisions and, ultimately, safety. Day one covers incidents and accidents through two examples, the properties of complex systems (observability, controllability, analysability), human thinking and acting in complex environments, and the tension between safety, reliability, cost and customer satisfaction. Day two covers civil aviation certification (aviation law, ICAO, EASA Part 21 and design organisation approval, certification specifications, FAA regulations, type approval, continuing airworthiness, EU and US differences and a look at China), quality management and design assurance (ISO 9100, ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C and DO-254 from a management perspective), validation, verification, safety assessment and the V-model, and air law and product liability.
