8.2. Aerospace (ARP 4754A/ARP4761)

medini analyze supports an Aviation/Aerospace safety domain profile that implements the recommended practices SAE ARP 4754A and ARP4761. This comprises currently the following tool aspects:

  • Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA)

  • Safety Requirements have a Development Assurance Level (DAL)

  • SysML Functions/Activities support a Function Development Assurance Level (FDAL)

  • SysML parts/blocks/ports receive a Item Development Assurance Level (IDAL)

  • Risk time model for FTA

Further additions and refinements will follow in subsequent releases.

8.2.1. Aviation Project Template (ARP 4754A/ARP4761)

The default Aviation project template consist of the following package structure:

  • Function Design

    This package supports the functional architecture and high-level design using SysML to define the aircraft or system for subsequent analysis. Usually the functional dependencies should be modeled here and their Functional Failures (FF).

  • Functional Hazard Assessment

    This package supports the creation of the FHA and Failure Conditions (FC). Sub-packages might be created for Aircraft FHA and System FHA in this scope to distinguish those assessment levels.

  • Safety Requirements

    The safety requirements hierarchy of functional, technical, HW/SW requirements can be modeled in this package using DALs at safety requirements.

  • System Design

    System Design models are managed in this package. They can be created or imported as needed. There are three default sub-packages which have the same capabilities:

    • Architecture Models

    • Hardware Models

    • Software Models

  • Safety Analysis

    All safety analysis such as FMEA, FMES, and FTA are stored in this sub-structure:

    • FMEA

    • FMES

    • FTA

  • CCA

    This folder is meant to manage the Common Cause Analysis (CCA) by checklists or other artifacts.
