Safety Cases/ Safety Assessment
Where “Safety of Life” is a concern, aviation systems and services are subject to Statutory Regulation. The applicable regulations require that the design, development and operational use of these systems are subject to an acceptable Safety Case or Safety Assessment.
Safety Cases/ Assessments provide a logical argument that a system or service is acceptably safe by design, and that this level of safety can be sustained through its operational life. The arguments are supported by objective evidence including risk based assessments and are documented in a Safety Case/ Assessment Report.

Testimonials

Osprey Consulting Services Ltd was engaged by the HIAL as Safety Consultants to assist in the preparation and presentation of various safety cases to the UK Safety Regulation Group in support of the Inverness Airport Radar Project.
The work stream which occurred over three years involved two phases:
Phase 1 was to buy in a suitable radar picture and to develop provision of radar services from Inverness.
Phase 2 was the purchase of a state of the art radar system from Thales. This system incorporating both primary and mode S secondary radar which was the first such system in the UK.
Their input to the whole process was pivotal to its success and it says much for the quality of the work completed that Phase 1 was achieved on time and using a”green field” scenario that was unusual in terms of achieving regulatory approval.
Phase 2 was delivered on budget and on time which would not have been achieved without the excellence of product delivered by Osprey Consulting Services Ltd. As a group we will have no hesitation in utilising them in future works should the occasion arise.
