What problem does it solve? Systems engineers and safety analysts often need the FAA's system safety methods mid-task but cannot recall the exact processes, matrices, and analysis techniques from the 2000 System Safety Handbook. This Skill loads synthesized reference notes on demand so an AI agent answers from the handbook's actual content rather than vague recollection. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Safety Risk Management Process: Covers the five-step process from FAA Order 8040.4, the severity-by-likelihood Risk Acceptability Matrix, and the Safety Order of Precedence for choosing hazard controls. - Hazard Analysis Toolkit: Details the seven lifecycle activities (PHL, PHA, RHA, SSHA, SHA, O&SHA, HHA) and analysis techniques including FTA, FMEA/FMECA, Common Cause Failure Analysis, Sneak Circuit Analysis, and Energy Trace. - Specialty Domains: Addresses acquisition contracting (SSPP/ISSPP), software safety (SHCM, DO-178B), test and facilities safety, commercial launch licensing, and Operational Risk Management. - Use Case: Ask which analysis technique fits a suspected latent wiring fault, and the agent points to Sneak Circuit Analysis with guidance on when and how to apply it. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explain the FAA risk acceptability matrix and how severity and likelihood combine into acceptance bands using the faa-system-safety skill.
