1 ACHIEVING AIRWORTHINESS THE ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION Dr. Andy Levers Technical Director

2 INTRODUCTION Airworthiness What is it? Design Approved Organisation Scheme Defence Standard & Route to Product Service System Certification Through Life Support

3 AIRWORTHINESS The ability of an aircraft or other airborne equipment or system to operate without significant hazard to aircrew, ground crew, passengers (where relevant) or to the general public over which such airborne systems are flown YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET - PROTECTED

4 AIRWORTHINESS DESIGN Meets Specification Rigorously Tested Hazards/Risk are kept ALARP MANUFACTURE Rigorous quality checks 100% Final Inspection Operator Competency LIFETIME SUPPORT LTC meetings Fault monitoring Safety Case update MEET ASSURE MAINTAIN

5 Design Approved Organisation Scheme THE MOD HAS ASSURANCE THAT: The Company can produce designs on their behalf Staff competency levels are appropriate to the task Structured change management process is applied e.g. Delta qualification, safety implications, risk, integration Subject to Regular Audit SURVITEC GROUP ARE THE ONLY DAOS AIR CREW EQUIPMENT APPROVED SOLUTIONS PROVIDER

6 COMPLIANCE DEF STAN Safety Management Systems Requirements Safety Management The requirements for organisational and general processes to ensure that Risk to Life is managed effectively Safety Engineering The requirements for guiding the design of a Product, Services and/or Systems so that it can be operated safely, on its own, as part of a wider system, or in a system of systems, and providing evidence that this has been done Safety In-Service The requirements for managing safety where a Contractor is supporting the MOD by providing a service, which may include operating a Product, Service and/or System Current update to Issue 5 Increased emphasis on Human Factors

7 COMPLIANCE DEF STAN Safety Management Requirements for Defence Systems Safety Management Plan Contents Safety Case Report Human Factors - Thermal Burden Hazard Logs Safety Analysis Failure modes Risk Estimation

8 COMPLIANCE DEF STAN Configuration Management Configuration Control Process Design Freeze of Qualified garment Full drawing data pack at Issue 1 Design sealed by customer Production Impact on Safety Case reviewed Customer request for change Further through life design iterations Advise customer on any safety implications Engineering Change Request raised by Survitec Change not implemented Not accepted by customer Accepted by customer Implement and qualify changes Take full drawing data pack to Issue 2

9 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION INVITATION TO TENDER F100A INVITATION TO TENDER Concurrently develop product safety during design evolution

10 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION BID WON CONTRACT REVIEW F100A CONTRACT REVIEW INVITATION TO TENDER Identify boundaries and interfaces of the project along with the key specification requirements

11 CONTRACT REVIEW Held for all our customer contracts Review of clauses Liquidated damages Reviewed by all departments Sales, Design, Operations, Quality, Accounts, Shipping. Additional review resources may be required Quality plan updates Risk to either party addressed

12 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION RAISE A PROJECT FILE F100A PROJECT FILE CONTRACT REVIEW INVITATION TO TENDER Sits at the centre of the design process, captures, reviews, manages and documents key features and decisions

13 PROJECT FILE Post contract review a project file is raised to house all relevant documentation. Two of the most important pieces of documentation in this file are: SPECIFICATION VERIFICATION MATRIX PROJECT PLAN IDENTIFY SPECIFICATIONS EVIDENCE IN CONTRACT DEMONSTRATE SATISFY Key Communication Tool Safety Management Schedule Actions Required Customer & MOD Engagement

14 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION PHASED DESIGN REVIEWS F100A INTERIM DESIGN REVIEW INITIAL DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT FILE CONTRACT REVIEW INVITATION TO TENDER Mitigate ALARP SAFETY CASE REPORT Risk Development Hazard Formal Process in which the progress of a design is evaluated against requirements

15 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION QUALIFICATION PHASE QUALIFICATION F100A INTERIM DESIGN REVIEW INITIAL DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT FILE CONTRACT REVIEW SAFETY CASE REPORT INVITATION TO TENDER Process of assurance that the Product has passed certain performance or quality tests

16 QUALIFICATION PHASE STEPS 1 AND 2 MATERIAL TESTING SYSTEM TESTING solar Radiation Colour Fastness to Light Vibration Acceleration Fungus Resistance Salt Fog Rain Sand and Dust Temperature Shock Icing/Freezing Rain Leakage Immersion Straight CDV Mechanical Shock Test ARD Max Load Contamination Resistance Ejection Trial Pool Trial Flame Trial Normal and Emergency Cockpit Operation Rescue Egress Trials Cockpit Habitability Trial Normal Ground Egress Trial Emergency Ground Egress Trial Man/Machine Interface Trial Parachute Suspension Trial Land Dragging Trial Sea Dragging Trial Man/Seat Inversion Trial Man/Seat Separation Trial Crash Declaration Trial

17 QUALIFICATION PHASE STEP 3 USER TRIALS Requirements determined by customer User feedback Performance in various environments AIRWORTHINESS YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET PROTECTED

18 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION RAISE DATA PACKS RAISE DATA PACKS QUALIFICATION F100A INTERIM DESIGN REVIEW INITIAL DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT FILE CONTRACT REVIEW INVITATION TO TENDER Effectively Communicate Design Intent to the Manufacturer

19 DATA PACKS This allows a qualified design to be handed over for production, whilst maintaining configuration control Config.. Status Report Test Specs Drawings DATA PACK Materials Schedules MOD APPROVED UNDER MINISTRY CONTROL (UMC) Patterns

20 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION FINAL DESIGN REVIEW QUALIFICATION FINAL DESIGN REVIEW RAISE DATA PACKS F100A INTERIM DESIGN REVIEW INITIAL DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT FILE CONTRACT REVIEW INVITATION TO TENDER SIGNIFIES That the design is complete back to the verification matrix, address, achieve, document and communicate

21 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION F100A SIGNED AND APPROVED FINAL DESIGN REVIEW RAISE DATA PACKS QUALIFICATION ISSUE F100A F100A INTERIM DESIGN REVIEW INITIAL DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT FILE CONTRACT REVIEW INVITATION TO TENDER Regular Review and feedback SAFETY IN SERVICE, CONTINUED AIR WORTHINESS

22 ROUTE TO CERTIFICATION SAFETY IN-SERVICE Safety In-Service The requirements for managing safety where a Contractor is supporting the MOD by providing a service, which may include operating a Product, Service and/or System CONTINUED IN-SERVICE SAFETY MANAGEMENT: Updating Safety Case at periodic timescales as agreed with the Duty Holder but a minimum of one year. Monitoring Fault Investigations in Service Improvements in manufacturing processes Change control and any associated safety implications Service provision Managing Risk to Life..

23 DAOS DURING PRODUCT SERVICE Customers have an obligation that safety and duty of care are fully discharged. Through Life: Regular review and analysis of faults and accidents in service Annual update of Safety Case Regular LTC meetings (MOD) Post design service support team This ensures: RISK TO LIFE IS AS LOW AS REASONABLY PRACTICABLE DURING THE FULL PSS LIFECYCLE
