Safety Aspects of a Landing Gear System

  • Conference paper
Developments in Risk-based Approaches to Safety

Abstract

This paper describes Silver Software’s experience in carrying out the software development for the landing gear system for a major new airliner. We hope this paper will be of interest, for a number of reasons:

  • The landing gear is one of the most safety-critical systems on the aircraft

  • This aircraft uses Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA)

  • Much of the work was carried out at our software development centre in Bangalore, India (in particular, development of the Level C software and verification of the Level A software)
