Summary JAR/CS 25 - effects of failures on crew, passengers+cabin crew, aeroplane

Hi, Following my previous question about this type of JAR way of thinking, initially rather confusing for me, I have tried to do a summary of the answers :

1. Effect on flight crew :

y y

minor failure --> slight increase in workload major failure --> physical discomfort or a significant increase in workload hazardous failure --> physical distress or excessive workload, impairs ability to perform task catastrophic failure --> fatalities or incapacitation

2. Effect on occupants of an aeroplane excluding flight crew :

y y y

minor failure --> physical discomfort major failure --> physical distress, possibly including injuries hazardous failure --> serious or fatal injury to a small number of passengers or cabin crew catastrophic failure --> multiple fatalities

2. Effect on the aeroplane :

y

minor failure --> slight reduction in functional capabilities or safety margins major failure --> significant reduction in functional capabilities or safety margins hazardous failure --> large reduction in functional capabilities or safety margins catastrophic failure --> hull loss

4. Allowable average failure probability per flight hour probability for :

y y y y

a minor failure --> between 10^3 and 10^5 (probable) a major failure --> between 10^5 and 10^7 (remote) a hazardous failure --> between 10^7 and 10^9 (extremely remote) a catastrophic failure --> less than 10^9 (extremely improbable)
