MADE for Aerospace Certification

Streamline certification with model-based safety analysis.

MADE helps aerospace teams apply a Model-Based Safety Analysis approach to support ARP4761 and ARP4754A workflows, connecting safety, reliability, diagnostics and certification artefacts through a Digital Risk Twin.

Digital Risk Twin Connect system behaviour, failures and certification evidence.
MBSA Workflow Support integrated model-based safety analysis.
Traceability Keep safety evidence aligned as designs change.
Artefacts Generate FHA, FTA, FMEA/FMECA, RBD, RCM and more.
Repeatability Reduce rework with one-touch repeatable analyses.
Why Certification Needs MADE

Aircraft certification is too complex for disconnected safety artefacts.

Certification requires consistent, traceable and repeatable safety assessment across complex systems. MADE provides a seamless environment to model, analyse and manage system safety, helping teams improve understanding of functional and system complexity throughout development.

The next-generation certification workflow.

MADE combines simulation-based outcomes, integrated MBSA workflows, knowledge digitisation, standardised taxonomy and Digital Risk Twins to help engineering teams make faster, more confident certification decisions.

Certification Platforms

Built for the future of aerospace systems.

MADE supports certification workflows across commercial aircraft, military platforms, eVTOL, VTOL and UAV systems — where complexity, safety and traceability must be managed from concept through design change.

A model-based approach to certification

MADE supports a top-down and bottom-up systems engineering approach to help streamline ARP certification processes for aerospace and OEM manufacturers.

01

Digital Risk Twin

Create a connected model that captures functions, failures, dependencies, risk logic and analysis artefacts in one engineering environment.

02

Standard taxonomy

Reduce miscommunication by enforcing a common engineering language for functions, failures, risk and analysis outputs.

03

Assist population of FHA

Support function and failure-condition capture so Functional Hazard Assessment artefacts remain connected to the system model.

04

Model-based safety verification

Link safety requirements, design decisions and analyses to improve traceability and certification confidence.

05

Simulation-based analyses

Simulate combined failure behaviour and understand how system behaviour changes across failure scenarios.

06

Automated artefact generation

Generate FMEA/FMECA, FTA, RBD, RCM and other certification artefacts from the connected system model.

The MADE workflow guides certification artefact development.

MADE helps guide the development of certification artefacts across FHA, PSSA and SSA activities, keeping analysis aligned from initial design through design revisions.

1

Functional Hazard Assessment

Assign mission profiles, environments and special conditions. Develop functions and identify failure conditions or hazards.
2

Preliminary System Safety Assessment

Allocate reliability to hardware, develop logical models and connect functions and failure conditions to architecture.
3

System Safety Assessment

Document, verify and conduct analyses to address failure conditions using inspection, test, demonstration or analysis evidence.
MADE Safety Assessment for Certification

Use a Digital Risk Twin to streamline the Safety Assessment process.

MADE applies MBSA to support PASA/PSSA activities within an integrated analysis toolset. The Digital Risk Twin connects FHA, FTA, FMEA, Common Mode Analysis and reliability outputs to support traceable certification evidence.

Improve understanding of system behaviour.
Simulate combined failure behaviour.
Manage design decision changes more easily.
Repeat analyses with one-touch consistency.
Synthesize high-complexity systems.

FHA Analysis

Start certification with functions, failure conditions and hazards connected.

Functional Hazard Analysis with model-based traceability

MADE helps capture mission profiles, environments, functions and failure conditions in a connected model, improving traceability from early hazard assessment through downstream system safety analyses.

FTA / FMEA / CMA

Generate repeatable safety analyses from one connected model.

One source of truth for certification artefacts

MADE supports the generation of Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA/FMECA and Common Mode Analysis outputs, helping teams reduce manual rework and maintain consistency as the design evolves.

  • Environment and emergency configuration
  • Systems model / failure dependency model
  • Model quality annotations

SRA

  • Functional Hazard Analysis
  • Fault Tree Analysis

Why MADE improves certification workflow

MADE helps teams reduce manual analysis effort, improve consistency and manage the impact of design change.

Objective and traceable analyses

Connect certification outputs to the underlying Digital Risk Twin so evidence can be traced back to design structure, functions and failure logic.

Digitised domain knowledge

Capture safety, reliability and diagnostic knowledge in a reusable model rather than relying on disconnected documents and spreadsheets.

Reduced rework during design change

Manage updates more easily by linking design decisions, failure behaviour and downstream analysis in one connected workflow.

Cost-ineffective analyses made practical

Apply model-based automation to analyses that are difficult, expensive or inconsistent when attempted manually.

Outcomes for aerospace certification teams

MADE helps certification teams move from fragmented artefacts to connected safety intelligence.
