Performing a Safety Certification
For Avionics Components and Systems

More avionics are required by law to pass a "safety assessment." This book leads you through all major steps---including fault trees, failure modes and other tools required by FAA Part 25.1309.

If you are designing a device critical to flight---one that affects flight controls, displays, power supplies and others---certifying authorities will often require a formal "safety analysis".

Written by an expert in the field, this book leads you through each major step, using worksheets and formats that have proven successful with FAA.

Step-by-step coverage of each major requirement:

• Functional Hazard Assessment
• Reliability Prediction
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.
• Fault Tree Analysis
• Common Cause Analysis
• System Safety Assessment
• System Validation
