The Probabilistic Approach to Safety—Success Or Failure?

Numerical probabilities have been used as an aid to aircraft systems design and safety analysis for some thirty years. This paper considers the background to the philosophy, its current application and the benefits that might be gained from further developments. The approach is also put into the con...

This paper considers the background to the philosophy, its current application and the benefits that might be gained from further developments. The approach is also put into the context of other opportunities that might exist for seeking further enhancements to aircraft safety.
