Commercial Aircraft Safety Assessment and 1309 Design Analysis

Instructor(s)

Description

Covers requirements of FARs 23.1309, 25.1309, 27.1309 and 29.1309 from fundamental analysis techniques to system integration; includes construction of failure mode and effects analysis, criticality analysis and fault trees. Includes detailed review of SAE ARP 4754 and 4761. Principles apply to all critical and essential aircraft systems.

Target Audience

Designed for Parts 23, 25, 27 and 29 system certification engineers, airframe system designers, FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs), aircraft certification personnel, and military personnel procuring civil equipment.

Fee Includes

Includes instruction, a course notebook, SAE ARP 4754—Certification Considerations for Highly-Integrated or Complex Aircraft Systems, SAE ARP 4761—Guidelines and Methods for Conducting the Safety Assessment Process on Civil Airborne Systems and Equipment, reference materials, refreshments and four lunches. (Please note that the Singapore class is five days and includes five lunches.) The course notes are for participants only and are not for sale.

Comments from Past Participants

"The 1309 course provides useful insight into the core aspects behind aircraft system design criteria. It links applicable design standards and related documents that provide students an in-depth awareness of critical design safety-related matters." — Brent Hopley, Royal New Zealand Air Force
