Module
Aircraft Validation
Validate the Safety classification of the Aircraft Failure Conditions and the assumptions from the AFHA / PASA.
Process:
The following process should be executed for each non CATASTROPHIC Aircraft Failure Condition :
A first (optional) step is to define the Aircraft Effects for each criteria of the severity matrix (Effect on Criteria such as aircraft, occupants or flight crew; or at more detailed level if needed).
A second (optional) step is to list the Aircraft Assumptions (organized per Type) for the Failure Condition overall, or for a specific effect. These assumptions can be turned into Safety Requirements in the Aircraft Requirement module.
Finally, this module allows to determine the Aircraft Validation Actions to be performed (by a Discipline per Validation Methods and Means) to validate the assumptions or the Failure Condition itself.
| Class of Data | Definition |
| Aircraft Effect | A description of the operation of the Aircraft as the result of a Failure Condition, on a specific Criteria. The Aircraft Effect is associated with a Safety Classification. |
| Aircraft Assumption | Statements, principles and/or premises offered without proof. |
| Aircraft Validation Action | Action to support the determination that a Safety Requirement is correct and complete. |
Main Features:
- List, View, Edit, Duplicate, Delete the Aircraft Effects, the Aircraft Assumptions and the Aircraft Validation Actions.
- Generate the appendix for the AFHA Validation report :
- Validation status,
- Validation Worksheet,
- List of Assumptions and
- List of Validation actions.
- Provide a list of Failure Conditions with the number of related Effects, Assumptions and Actions, with a quick access to each of them. (see screenshot above)
- Provide a traceability between the Aircraft Assumptions and the:
- Functions,
- Functional Failure Modes,
- Functional Scenarios,
- Failure Conditions,
- Aircraft Effects,
- Validation Actions,
- Architecture Scenarios and – System Failure Modes.
- Provide a Summary View of the module, with filters on Failure Condition, Criteria, Effect, Aircraft Effect, Assumption (Type, Reference and Text), Discipline, Validation Method and Validation Mean.
- Provide a Top-Down view to show the arborescence from the Failure Condition to the Validation Plan.
