Abstract
Safety analysis is an important task in both the development and certification of civil aircraft. The traditional safety analysis is significantly dependent on the skills and experiences of analysts. A model-based safety analysis approach is proposed for airborne systems based on the model built with Simulink. This study builds Simulink models of typical failure modes as well as the fault injection methods. The responses of system performances are monitored by traversing all failure combinations based on a state space reduction method. The system will be in an unsafe condition when the responses exceed their thresholds. The minimal cut sets of the system are obtained automatically by recording the failure combinations leading to the unsafe condition. Finally, a lateral-directional flight control system is taken as a practical example to illustrate the application and effectiveness of our proposed method. The result shows that our method has higher accuracy and the causes of the unsafe conditions can be determined by the automatic generation of the minimal cut sets. Additionally, the cumbersome work of building a traditional safety analysis model such as the fault tree, the Markov model, or the dependence diagram can be avoided.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
