The Scheduling System of Civil Aviation Based on Web-Based Aviation Safety Regulation

Towards Modeling Civil Aviation Safety Legislations

Building on the work of the EDEMOI methodology, this paper proposes a twofold expansion of this methodology consisting in: (1) broadening its scope to include aviation safety legislations and (2) extending its usability to detect regression originating from regulatory amendments. Accordingly, this paper analyses the differences between safety and security legislations in civil aviation, develop...

Protecting Civil Aviation from Cyberattacks

Cybersecurity is a growing concern for civil aviation, although the significance of reports in May that a computer security researcher hacked into aircraft control systems while flying as a passenger aboard commercial jets is still unclear. The probe into the alleged hacking incidents unfolded just weeks after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Transportation Security Administrat...

Does change challenge safety? Complexity in the civil aviation transport system

The paper describes our attempt at mapping the complexity of the civil aviation system, in terms of how changes affect safety and interactions between actors within the system. Three cases were selected to represent three distinct levels of the transport system: the civil aviation authority case, the air traffic control/airport operation case and the maintenance case. Through the complexity per...

Historical development of civil aviation medical standards.

Software Safety in Aviation

Safety and security are important issues for modern systems that interact with and often control the environment. Therefore both safety and security must be considered for the system operations in normal as well as in abnormal conditions. Traditionally in aviation, only safety was considered a central factor and approaches were developed to take a broader view of potential accident causes than ...
