The Functional Safety process is focused on identifying functional failure conditions leading to hazards. Functional Hazard Analyses / Assessments are central to determining hazards. FHA is performed early in aircraft design, first as an Aircraft Functional Hazard Analysis (AFHA) and then as a System Functional Hazard Analysis (SFHA).
ARP4761, Guidelines for Conducting the Safety Assessment Process on Civil Aircraft, Systems, and Equipment describes recommended processes for assessing safety for new aircraft and equipment design as well as significant changes to existing designs for compliance with the safety requirements of FAR 25.1309 and FAR 23.1309.
An Air Malta crewman performing a pre-flight inspection of an Airbus A320.. Aviation safety is the study and practice of managing risks in aviation.This includes preventing aviation accidents and incidents through research, educating air travel personnel, passengers and the general public, as well as the design of aircraft and aviation infrastructure.
2. Listen to the safety briefing. I had the chance to interview Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, for the 15th anniversary of his miraculous landing on the Hudson River, and he said that he ...

The U.S. Air Force's F-16D Ground Collision Avoidance Technology (GCAT) aircraft. An airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS, usually pronounced as ay-kas) operates independently of ground-based equipment and air traffic control in warning pilots of the presence of other aircraft that may present a threat of collision.
This year hasn’t started well for aviation safety, with a runway collision at Tokyo’s Haneda airport and a door plug blowing out mid-air from an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 in January, and with ...
Advanced Supersonic Transport (AST) model in wind tunnel. The aircraft design process is a loosely defined method used to balance many competing and demanding requirements to produce an aircraft that is strong, lightweight, economical and can carry an adequate payload while being sufficiently reliable to safely fly for the design life of the aircraft.
