Term 1SHEL Model Domain Safety and Reliability Definition A method of analysis for human factors established by Elwin Edwards in 1972. SHEL is the acronym for: Software: any non-physical aspect of a system Hardware: a machine which a person is trying to control Environment: the physical environment in which the person is trying to operate Liveware: the person. In the model the liveware is arranged at the centre. The interfaces between liveware and software, hardware and other liveware define the role of human factors. Refers to pilot training programs that extensively train candidates with zero flight time and prepare them for Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) rating certificate and possibly, a type rating on an air carrier such as a turboprop used by regional/commuter airlines. A shortened form of a written word or phrase used for brevity in place of the whole word or phrase. It is commonly made by the omission of letters from one or more parts of the whole word or phrase. To receive with consent (something given or offered). A means, but not the only means, by which a specification contained in an airworthiness code or a requirement in an implementing rule can be met.

Approved Terms
Term Accident Domain Definition Source AP2509 Aircraft Operation/Unscheduled Extract from AP2509 (June 02), Airbus Accident Investigation Policy and Occurrences Procedure Guide. ICAO Annex 13 (Amendment 9) Definition: "An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft, which takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight, until such time as all such persons have disembarked, in which: a) A person is fatally or seriously injured as a result of a. Being in the aircraft b. Direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts which have become detached from the aircraft c. Direct exposure to jet blast Except when the injuries are from natural causes, self-inflicted or inflicted by other persons, or when the injuries are to stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew, or: b) The aircraft receives substantial damage or structural failure, which adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component (before next flight). Except for engine failure or damage when the damage is limited to the engine, its cowling or accessories; or for damage limited to propellers, wing tips, antenna, tires, brakes, fairing, small dents or puncture holes in the aircraft skin. or: c) The aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible. Note: The above definition of an accident does not cover all possible events. Airbus Expanded Accident Definition: Airbus has adopted the ICAO definition, but has expanded it beyond aircraft boarding and disembarkation to encompass ground accidents resulting in death or serious injury from aircraft-related causes. In other words, the Airbus definition covers aircraft-related injury or death of passengers, flight and cabin crews, and ground, dispatch, airport, maintenance and cleaning personnel that occur outside of "block times", as well as during any phase of flight operations."

Term Accountable Domain Organization/Management Implementation Definition A in RASCI. An Accountable person has the ultimate ownership of a deliverable. The accountable person takes the final decision on the deliverable and carries the risk in case of non-conformances. To bring to a successful conclusion. A collection of tasks grouped together for a particular purpose. Under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) the ATA is the actual time an aircraft is above a designated arrival point from where the pilot would begin an instrument approach. Under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), or if the airport does not have instrument landing facilities, the ATA is the actual time the aircraft arrives over the airport. The ATD is the actual time an aircraft is above a designated departure point, or if there is no air traffic control, the actual time the aircraft leaves the airport.

Term Quality Domain Quality Definition The totality of characteristics of an entity that bears on its ability to satisfy stated and implied needs. Notes: 1. In a contractual environment or in a regulated environment, such as the nuclear safety field needs are specified, whereas in other environments, implied needs should be identified and defined. 2. In many instances, needs can change with time; this implies periodic review of requirements for quality. 3. Needs are usually into characteristics with specified criteria. Needs may include for example, aspects of performance, usability, dependability, (availability, reliability, maintainability), safety, environment, economics and aesthetics. 4. The term "quality" should not be used as a single term to express a degree of excellence in a comparative sense nor should it be used in a quantitative sense for technical evaluations. To express these meanings, a qualifying adjective should be used. For example, use can be made of the following terms: a) "relative quality" where entities are ranked on a relative basis in the "degree of excellence" or "comparative sense" (not to be confused with grade); b) "quality level" in a "quantitative sense" (as used in acceptance sampling) and "quality measure" where precise technical evaluations are carried out. 5. The achievement of satisfactory quality involves all stages of the quality loop as a whole. The contributions to quality of these various stages are sometimes identified separately for emphasis; for example quality due to definition of needs, quality due to product design, quality due to conformance, quality due to product support through its lifetime. In some references, quality is referred to as "fitness for use" or "fitness for purpose" or "customer satisfaction" or "conformance to the requirements". These represent only certain facets of quality as defined above. Source ISO 8402

Some quality control and quality assurance actions are interrelated. 3. Unless requirements for quality fully reflect the needs of the user, quality assurance may not provide adequate confidence. Systematic and independent examination to determine whether quality activities and related results comply with planned arrangements and whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are suitable to achieve objectives. Notes: 1. Often called "quality system audit", "process quality audit", "product quality audit" or "service quality audit". 2. Quality audits are carried out by staff not having direct responsibility in the areas being audited but, preferably, working in cooperation with the relevant personnel. 3. One purpose of a "quality audit" is to evaluate the need for improvement or corrective action. An audit should not be confused with quality "surveillance" or "inspection" activities performed for the purpose of process control or product acceptance. 4. Quality audits can be conducted for internal or external purposes. Operational techniques and activities that are used to fulfill requirements for quality. Notes: 1. Quality control involves operational techniques and activities aimed both at monitoring a process and at eliminating causes of unsatisfactory performance at all stages of the quality loop in order to achieve economic effectiveness. 2.

Term Technical Memorandum Domain Documentation Templates Definition This is used to convey information of a technical nature, on a single subject. This is used internally within Airbus where it is not appropriate or necessary to create a Technical Report. Therefore the Technical Memorandum normally comprises only a front sheet for information and perhaps a second sheet with a List of Distribution. This template has provision for Author, Approval and Authorization signatures, as necessary, depending on the Document Level as defined in AP1020 Rules and Guidance for Signature and Release of Technical Documents. The Technical Memorandum is not used to convey information external to Airbus, unless it is the subject of an Engineering Coordination Memorandum (ECM). Document presenting technical information on the contents of each individual Modification Proposal. This document is issued by the Modification Proposal initiator and/or any other parties involved.This document, completed by cost and deadline information, allows a decision concerning the actions to be taken as a result of the proposal to be made. This template is used for complex technical subjects that require more information than can be accommodated in a Technical Memorandum and is used internal to Airbus. This may include graphs, tables, assessments, evaluations, analyses, illustrations etc. The Technical Report contains the options of List of Distribution, Record of Revisions, Table of Contents and Table of References. This template has provision for Author, Approval and Authorization signatures, as necessary, depending on the Document Level as defined in AP1020 Rules and Guidance for Signature and Release of Technical Documents.
