MADE for Airworthiness certification and model-based safety analysis
The Challenge

Airworthiness evidence must be more than a static certification record.

Aircraft certification for airworthiness is a critical milestone, but certification records are not always directly linked to the engineering analyses used for design and maintenance planning. That disconnect can create technical, traceability and schedule consequences across the lifecycle.

MADE connects analysis, artefacts and engineering decisions.

MADE generates airworthiness artefacts from the system model, helping teams demonstrate how safety, reliability and maintenance decisions were made, why they were made and what evidence supports them.

Certification Decision Support

From model-based analysis to certification-ready evidence.

MADE applies a Digital Risk Twin and model-based safety analysis approach to streamline the safety assessment process, supporting PASA / PSSA activities within an integrated analysis environment.

Model
Capture system behaviour, functions, failure paths and dependencies.
Analyse
Generate FMECA, FTA, RCM and safety assessment outputs from the model.
Annotate
Track decisions, parameter sources, justification and model quality.
Demonstrate
Produce traceable artefacts to support airworthiness and certification review.
Key Benefits

Improve certification confidence with model-based traceability.

MADE supports integrated safety, reliability and maintainability analysis so engineering evidence can be reused across design, certification and sustainment.

1

Model-based simulation

Generate engineering analyses from a system model rather than disconnected documents or spreadsheets.

2

Integrated analysis

Connect FMECA, FTA, RCM, reliability and model quality outputs within one analysis environment.

3

Automated failure insight

Identify and mitigate failure behaviour by analysing how failures progress through the system.

4

Risk traceability

Track the source, quality and justification of parameters used to support engineering decisions.

5

Knowledge capture

Capture engineering rationale, domain knowledge and decisions in a managed digital framework.

6

Consistent taxonomy

Use a common engineering language to reduce miscommunication and improve understanding of complex systems.

Airworthiness Analysis Workflow

How MADE supports airworthiness.

MADE generates engineering analyses and helps demonstrate the quality of the model and decisions used to produce them.

Generate engineering analyses using MADE

Generate engineering analyses

Generate FMEA / FMECA, Fault Tree Analysis and RCM analysis from the functional and physical system model.

Demonstrate analysis quality using annotations and model quality reports

Demonstrate analysis quality

Annotate decisions, review model quality and document the rationale, source and confidence behind generated analyses.

FMEA and FMECA airworthiness analysis in MADE

FMEA / FMECA

Leverage the functional and physical model to identify, track and communicate failures across the system.

Fault Tree Analysis for root cause analysis

Fault Tree Analysis

Perform root cause analysis from failure cause to end effect, supporting deeper understanding of initiating causes.

Classic RCM maintenance planning for airworthiness

Classic RCM / Maintenance Plan

Use RCM analysis to generate maintenance actions in response to system failures and operational requirements.

Annotations and analysis quality reporting in MADE

Annotations / Analysis Quality

Use model quality indexes, annotations and reporting to support confidence in the generated analysis evidence.

Certification Artefacts

Generate the evidence needed for aerospace certification workflows.

MADE supports safety, reliability, platform and PHM artefacts that help teams manage certification evidence in a connected model-based environment.

SRA Functional Hazard Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, FMECA / FMEA and Common Mode Analysis.
RAM Reliability allocation, Reliability Block Diagrams, Markov Analysis and Reliability-Centered Maintenance.
PHM Diagnostics tables, sensor set design, ambiguity groups and sensor implementation trade studies.
Platform Mission profile, emergency configuration, system model and model quality report annotations.
Digital Risk Twin Connected system behaviour, failure logic and engineering evidence from one model.
MBSA Workflow Integrated model-based safety analysis aligned to aerospace certification needs.
Analysis Quality

Document not just the answer — but the evidence behind it.

MADE annotations support analysis quality by documenting the decision rationale, configuration history and source quality of the parameters used in engineering analysis.

Justification

List each decision or parameter and the reasoning used to support the engineering choice.

Configuration Management

Capture who made the decision, when it was made and how the model has changed over time.

Data Source and Quality

Assess and record the integrity, source and confidence level of data used to support analysis.

Generated Analyses

Reuse engineering analyses to validate design and demonstrate airworthiness.

Engineering analyses generated during design can also be leveraged to document and demonstrate airworthiness.

Mission Profile

Identify typical use cases and operational scenarios for the aircraft or platform.

  • Flight phases and segments.
  • Operational configuration context.
  • Environment and emergency configuration.

FMECA

Identify failures, failure modes and how they progress through the system.

  • Failure identification and classification.
  • Failure progression modelling.
  • Common failure concept descriptions.

FTA

Perform root cause analysis to determine the initiating causes of failure events.

  • Functional and hardware-based Fault Tree Analysis.
  • Cut-set identification.
  • Cause-to-effect traceability.

RCM

Determine the maintenance plan required to support the platform in operation.

  • Maintenance actions linked to failure behaviour.
  • Maintenance planning evidence.
  • Lifecycle sustainment support.
