In the highly regulated world of aviation, safety is paramount. Every system, every procedure, and every operational change must have a rigorous aviation risk assessment to safeguard lives and maintain the highest levels of air traffic safety. At Copperchase, we don’t just supply advanced Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems; we provide comprehensive Safety Case Aviation Development services, offering the crucial expertise needed to demonstrate the safety integrity of your Aviation operational safety and new system deployments.
Our Meticulous Approach to Safety Case Aviation Development
Developing a robust safety case requires a methodical, detailed, and evidence-based approach. Our expert teams work collaboratively with you to build a compelling narrative that demonstrates effective risk management throughout the lifecycle of your systems and operations.
- Hazard Identification and Analysis: We systematically identify potential hazards associated with new or modified systems and operations. This involves detailed analysis of all components, interfaces, and human interactions, drawing upon our deep technical knowledge of ATC environments, aeronautical ground lighting, meteorological systems, and messaging infrastructure.
- Aviation Risk Assessment and Evaluation: Following hazard identification, we conduct a thorough aviation risk assessment to determine the likelihood and severity of potential incidents. This rigorous evaluation helps to quantify risks and prioritise areas requiring mitigation.
- Compliance with Industry Standards: A core tenet of our safety case development is ensuring strict adherence to international and national aviation safety standards. We apply our expertise in ICAO SARPs (Standards and Recommended Practices), including documents such as ICAO Doc 9880 and ICAO Annex 10, Volume II, as well as UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requirements, notably CAP 670. Our solutions inherently incorporate features like redundant elements to enhance safety and reliability, which are crucial components of any strong safety argument.
- Mitigation Strategy Development: We work with you to develop effective strategies for mitigating identified risks. This includes proposing changes to system design, operational procedures, training requirements, and emergency protocols, ensuring that safety controls are robust and proportionate.
- Evidence Collection and Documentation: A strong aviation safety case is built on verifiable evidence. We assist in compiling comprehensive documentation, including system specifications, test results, operational procedures, maintenance records, and training logs, all meticulously organised to support your safety claims. Our commitment to rigorous quality control measures throughout our projects ensures that the underlying data for your safety case is accurate and reliable.
- Safety Argument Construction: Our specialists are skilled in constructing clear, logical, and persuasive safety arguments. We present the collected evidence in a structured format, demonstrating that hazards are controlled and residual risks are acceptable, enabling smooth approvals from regulatory bodies.
- Support for Safety Review Groups: We provide dedicated support to Safety Review Groups, presenting findings, addressing queries, and facilitating the review and approval process. Our objective is to ensure your safety case is not only compliant but also clearly understood and defensible.
