Type Certification System Safety Assessment – 5 Days

Introduction

Technical Familiarization and Certification Basis
The set of rules that will apply for the certification of this specific aircraft type is being established (Certification Basis).

Establishment of the Certification Programme
EASA and the manufacturer need to define and agree on the means to demonstrate compliance of the aircraft type with each requirement of the Certification Basis. Consistent with EASA’s “level of involvement” during the certification process.

Compliance Demonstration
The aircraft manufacturer must demonstrate compliance of its product with regulatory requirements: the structure, engines, control systems, electrical systems, and flight performance are analyzed against the Certification Basis. This compliance demonstration is done by analysis during ground testing (such as tests on the structure to withstand bird strikes, fatigue tests, and tests in simulators) but also using tests during flight.
Welcome to our comprehensive course on EASA Aircraft Certification and Safety Assessment. This course provides an exhaustive insight into various aspects related to the certification process, design considerations, safety assessments, and the necessary regulations that govern them under the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The course emphasizes understanding the principles of safety assessment, and considerations for compliance with EASA CS 25.1309 as integral parts of the certification process. We’ll illuminate the EASA Part 21 certification process and guide you on matters of compliance showing, configuration control, and the design aspects of airworthiness.
The course will introduce you to Operational Suitability Data (OSD) and the regulatory drivers behind it. We’ll explore how products, parts, and appliances are certified and the proportionality and level of involvement in EASA Part 21 design certification.
To review Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA), Particular Risk Analysis (PRA), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), Operating and Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA), and the role of Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA).
The course addresses considerations related to Common Cause Analysis as part of FAA & EASA aircraft certification, and the use of Fault Tree Analysis in support of aircraft certification. A practical introduction to FMEA will provide hands-on understanding.

Who is the Course for?

This Type Certification System Safety Assessment course develops the skills necessary to write and review system safety assessments for regulatory compliance to CS 25.  Delegates are introduced to the evolution of the safety rule and specific techniques for compliance.

The course is delivered over five days and is relevant for anyone involved in the regulatory compliance aspects of system safety. It is specifically designed for CS 25 system certification engineers, system designers, as well as other key stakeholders.
