Abstract
This is the first in a series of articles covering the various aspects of aviation safety. FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEMS have now reached the stage where predictions can indicate that they reach the level of safety required by certificating authorities. This stage has been achieved by a combination of experience and techniques which regocnise that the majority of the components of which systems are composed may fail.
