Bridging the Gap: What You Need to Know about the Revised ARP4761A
PD5344337
- Content
In 2023, the S-18 committee released the revised standards that are known today as the twin pillars of modern aviation safety. Both documents, ARP4761 and ARP4761A remain a part of a vital framework for risk mitigation in civil aviation. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for 99% of the world’s civil aircraft and since 2017 worldwide military and UAV. They are a necessity for many of the 7000-plus aircraft and systems manufacturers worldwide to meet FAA or other regulatory agency system safety system related requirements.
This 2.5-hour eLearning course reviews the first standard ARP4761 and its application of the guidelines introduced in the revised ARP4754B Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems. It will detail the critical differences in the 2023 release of ARP4761A, including leading learners through the practices for performing aircraft and system-level safety assessments.
Using videos, interactive elements and a five-question assessment, learners progress at their own pace through a systematic and proactive process of analyzing the differences between ARP4761, and in the revision ARP4761A.

- By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
- Recognize the updates and expanded guidelines in ARP4761A for conducting the safety assessment process on civil aircraft, systems, and equipment, in comparison to previous versions
- Outline the primary goals, objectives, and steps involved in the safety assessment process for aircraft and system development, in accordance with ARP4761A guidelines
- Identify failure conditions with a Functional Hazard Assessment using the ARP4761A framework [AFHA, SFHA]
- Recognize safety objectives for a project based on the identified failure conditions within the ARP4761A framework [AFHA, SFHA]
- Conduct common safety analysis methods within the context of an overall safety assessment process, such as Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and others [FTA, FMEA, CMA, PRA, ZSA, CEA, FDAL/IDAL assignment]
- Utilize the safety assessment process to influence the development of aircraft and system functions, architectures, and implementations while identifying areas where design space can be further opened
- Articulate safety assessment interests when interacting with the aircraft or system development process, including planning, reviews, testing, and certification substantiation
- Assess whether an aircraft or system has met its safety objectives as the implementation is developed using ARP4761A safety assessment processes [SSA, ASA]
- Analyze the safety assessment process to determine how it establishes confidence and produces substantiation that the aircraft or system performs its intended function safely for customers and certification purposes, in accordance with the guidelines [SSA, ASA]
- Recognize whether safety objectives are fully satisfied at the conclusion of a project

This course is part of a portfolio of courses that support the SAE standards known as The Twin Pillars of Aviation Safety. If ARP4754B covers “what” is required, the second pillar, ARP4761A provides the “how.” For the best experience with this eLearning, participants should already have a basic understanding of ARP4761 and should have a copy of the revised ARP4761A.
For a deeper dive into the ARP4761A standard, SAE recommends the full instructor-led course to support their competency with the standards and its tools. The purchase of the full course includes the standard at a 50% discount: C2302 ARP4761A: Guidelines and Methods of Performing the Safety Assessment for Certification of Civil Aircraft
