Abstract
Loss of control of aircraft is one of the catastrophic safety critical events in the aerospace domain, which results usually into risks of loss of human lives and/or environmental hazards. Triggering of this undesired event could be at any level of hardware and/or software in the digital fly-by-wire fighter aircraft. The contributing factors for this undesirable event and the interrelationships among the basic events are to be carefully accounted, while estimating the loss of control of the fighter aircraft, probabilistically. Components which have the potential to cause failures are required to be treated carefully, by properly considering the failure modes of those components. This paper brings out, the data driven methodology to estimate the probability of control of the aircraft considering all the interdependent components along with the associated failure modes, which have the potential to trigger the occurrence of the undesired event-‘Loss of Control of Aircraft’. The approach presented here would serve as a guideline for estimating the PLOC of any types of aircraft.
