Abstract While an individual aircraft can be considered as a unified system, it is, in terms of airworthiness, necessary to consider most individual aircraft as a sum of several different systems. Each of those systems must be able to work as part of the whole, and normal operation of one system must not hinder normal operation of any other. Furthermore, if one primary system is incapacitated, a secondary, independent system must be able to replicate its function to allow safe operation of the aircraft until repairs can be made. This Chapter deals with the classification of systems, how risk to those systems is assessed, mitigated and what constitutes acceptable risk. The conditions under which those system risks are assessed is also discussed.
