BITE Design

Expert in BITE Design and Integration for End-to-End Development Solutions covering all Aircraft Systems

End-to-End development of the BITE* (Built-in-Test Equipment) function for various aircraft systems, covering Standard A and B, and Types 1, 2 and 3.
Definition of FMD (Fault Message Description) and FDS (Failure Description Specification), including Normal Mode and Interactive Mode.
Specification of:
- Fault detection logics
- Classification of faults and associated cockpit effects
- The functional and physical architectures of internal and external failures.

* The BITE function takes the form of a code intrinsic to the controller, enabling monitoring of a system’s nominal behavior.

Comprehensive verification and validation of fault detection logic (internal and external) on a system integration test platform, covering NO GO, GO IF and GO dispatches :
- Authoring of test procedures.
- Preparing and performing tests.
- Analysis of results, identification of anomalies and their root causes, authoring of TRAs (Test Report and Analysis).
“Spurious Hunting” of failures impacting Aircraft Operability and Maintainability.

Operational impact assessment.
Prioritization and monitoring of BITE anomalies and limitations versus in-service Software Standards.
Drawing up mitigation plans.
Update of TSM (Trouble Shooting Manual) procedures.
Reporting to entities concerned by the BITE Maturity:
- Airlines,
- Systems/Equipment manufacturers,
- Aircraft manufacturers,
- etc…
