3.9 System Safety Engineering Support 

      Wyle provides Safety Engineering support to a number of NAVAIR programs, including the F/A-18, E/A-18, P-3, E-2, S-3, T-45, EA-6B, JSF, C-130, H-60, and a number of avionics systems. Tasking on these programs includes review of technical documentation (e.g. ECPs, specifications, test plans, etc.) to identify potential safety issues and classic system safety engineering, such as preliminary, subsystem, and system hazard analyses, fault tree analyses, FMECAs, hazard severity and frequency analyses and hazard elimination/mitigation plans. It also includes “hands-on” safety planning, safety inspections, and safety/mishap investigations. Wyle is heavily involved in flight test planning, and typically prepares the safety and risk hazard analysis sections of the flight test plans. Wyle is also involved in the flight clearance process to certify the aircraft as safe to fly, and perform the EMI/EMC safety of flight (SOF) testing that is a critical part of this process.
