Final Case Study- Aircraft Jet Engine Systems


Final Case Study on Aircraft Jet Engine System
This report will focus on the system of commercial aircraft jet engines, providing a complete analysis of it from a systems safety standpoint. It is a complex system, with thousand of parts required and has many moving components to generate thrust required for a commercial jet for different phases of flight such as take-off, cruise and landing. A preliminary hazard list (PHL) is shown below in Table 1, which is then expanded upon with a preliminary hazard analysis (PHA) shown in Table 2. Two of the items within the PHA is further analyzed using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and the Operating and Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA) tool.
Preliminary Hazard List
The preliminary hazard list (PHL) is listed below in Table 1 below for the preliminary identification of existing potential sources of hazards and mishaps in the system of the aircraft engine (Ericson, 2015). This is typically carried out at the conceptual design phase and serves to highlight the hazards that are inherent in the system that should be accounted for in the system design, such as hardware safety barriers and emergency procedures surrounding these hazards. These hazards are then further analyzed in the preliminary hazard analysis starting from this initial list.
The first two hazards listed are regarding fan blade out occurrence, where a fan blade at the front of the engine can detach while engine is running which can result in two different hazards. Firstly, the fan blade gets sucked into the engine, contained within the nacelle and causes internal engine damage, resulting in the engine unable to function. Secondly, the fan blade detachment is not contained by the nacelle and the loose debris can damage the engine and aircraft body in an unpredictable manner, potentially risking lives of those onboard the aircraft.
External factors such as bird strike during flight could also be a hazard, with birds being ingested into the engine if the paths of the fowls and aircraft cross. This results in damage to the engine inlet sections of the fan and possibly inlet guide vanes and could stop the engine from working. Fuel leak can occur in within the engine, where the fuel used for combustion process is flowing at unknown locations and flow rate, possible causing engine fire which would damage the aircraft and engine.
Additional weather factors would affect engine functions, such as flying through volcano ash and thunderstorm. In PHL-5, volcanic ash released into the atmosphere could coat the engine and force it to shutdown unexpectedly, causing the engine to stop working and forcing a glide landing. Thunderstorm can have the same hazard effect as the engine can have a flame out while the aircraft flies through a heavy thunderstorm.
Oil leak can occur within the engine if piping sections within the aircraft containing cooling oil for example fracture, causing a potential engine fire in flight. Engine component failure such as compressor disks within the embedded sections of the engine could also result in uncontained engine failure as engine nacelles are not designed for such containment of large rotational energy release. This could also result in engine and aircraft damage and possibly loss of lives. Lastly, external foreign object debris (FOD) could also be ingested into the engine on the ground and result in damage to the engine and functionality.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis
Following the hazards listed in the PHL table above, the preliminary hazard analysis (PHA) is carried out and detailed in Table 2 below. The initial mishap risk index (IMRI) and final mishap risk index (FMRI) are based off Figure 1 below on both severity and probability of occurrence. This can then be translated into a risk level that can be referred from Figure 2 below, placing risk at levels of high, serious, medium, low or eliminated if possible (DoD, 2012).

Figure 2: Risk Analysis Matrix. Reprinted from MIL-STD-882E, by Department of Defense, 2012, retrieved from System Safety: https://www.system-safety.org/Documents/MIL-STD-882E.pdf
The first two hazards are related to a fan blade breaking off due to fatigue fracture when engine is spinning at high rounds per minute (RPM) revolutions, with PHA-1 having the fan blade sucked into the engine and contained, while PHA-2 highlights the risk if the debris is not contained by the engine housing. In the first instance, the worst effect is the engine is damaged and not functioning, causing a loss of thrust in flight. To counter this, tighter inspection and quality control procedures should be utilized in detecting fatigue cracks, so that these are caught before an engine is used in flight. This would drop the probability from occasional to remote, with a remaining severity of 1-catastrophic, reducing the overall risk from high 1C to a serious risk 1D. In PHA-2, an uncontained engine failure would cause damage to the engine and the aircraft and could cause rapid decompression and loss of lives either by direct impact of debris or indirectly due to aircraft damage. In addition to improve detection of fatigue cracks like in PHA-1, the design of the fan cowling section of the nacelle could be reinforced based on simulations of critical fan blade impact locations. This should ensure structural integrity of the fan cowl structure not be compromised in the event of a fan blade-out. This would similarly drop the probability from occasional to remote, with the same severity catastrophic if it occurs, dropping the overall risk from high to serious according to Figure 2. PHA-2 will be further analyzed in the later section of this report.
The third hazard of engine failure after a bird-strike could occur during take-off and climbing phase of the aircraft, causing damage to the engine components past the initial fan-blade sections such as inlet and outlet guide vanes and engine cowling structure which could shut down the engine. A follow-up action could be to ensure bird-strikes are contained within the engine, to prevent a hazard like PHA-2, as well as research into improving wildlife management in the vicinity of airports. These should reduce the risk from C-occasional to D-remote, retaining a severity of 1-Catastrophic during occurrence. This drops the risk from high to serious.
PHA-4 regarding fuel leak occurring could result from cracks in the fuel pipeline. Two effects can occur from a fuel leak, the first scenario of lower severity-critical of insufficient fuel to divert to an emergency airfield could occur. The second scenario where an engine fire occurs of a critical severity could cause damage to the engine, loss of engine and fire damage to parts of the aircraft, placing passengers in danger. To counter the occurrence of fuel leak, periodic inspections of fuel pipelines should be enforced and use of a combustible gas detector be used instead of relying on a technician’s sense of smell to detect fuel odor. Based on the worse-case scenario of the fire, and if recommended actions taken, the overall probability will drop from occasional to remote, dropping the risk from high to serious. PHA-4 will be further analyzed in the later sections of this report.
The fifth hazard of weather effects on the engine could occur from engine flying through volcanic ash, which would form a glass coating inside the engine and causes an engine shutdown, possibly all engines of the aircraft, resulting in loss of thrust. A recommended action to counter this risk would be to ensure available information about ash clouds on flight paths are distributed to aircraft flying these paths and diversions flight paths are planned and adopted. This would drop the severity from catastrophic to critical, and probability from remote to improbable, dropping the overall risk from serious to medium. Another weather-related hazard PHA-6 highlights the possibility of an engine flameout when flying through a thunderstorm, also resulting in loss of thrust. In this instance, the use of backup battery pack to restart the engine is critical. Hence a recommended action would be to ensure maintenance processes check the functionality of the backup battery pack. Further actions would be to improve training procedures for pilot to understand weather radar images and maintain a higher engine power in the event of a severe precipitation to avoid a flameout scenario. These actions would drop the severity from catastrophic to critical, and a probability from occasional to remote, reducing the risk from high to serious. The probability of thunderstorms is generally higher than volcanic eruptions, hence the higher probability comparatively.
Another hazard could be a leak of bearing lubricating oil due to fracture of the oil pipeline within the engine. This could result in failure of engine parts if insufficient lubrication is achieved and cause a failure of a turbine disc for example which could then result in uncontained engine debris. This in turn can lead to an engine shutdown and damage to aircraft parts such as wings, control surfaces and fuselage. This risk could be reduced if the processes are improved, such a record keeping of manufacturing measurements and check of features, and if necessary, re-design the structure to prevent lubrication oil leak. This would reduce the probability of occurrence from occasional to remote, with severity remaining at catastrophic if it occurs, reducing the overall risk from high to serious.
The next hazard PHA-8 highlights a possible compressor disk failure due to undetected cracks. The release of high rotational energy could result in uncontained engine failure, with debris penetrating the aircraft fuselage after damage of engine and wing structure. To reduce this hazard, improved maintenance procedures could be implemented to ensure irregularities can be detected more easily. Multiple inspections for crack propagation can also be carried out to reduce the risk of missing detections. This would reduce the probability of the risk from occurring from occasional to remote, with a catastrophic severity unchanged, reducing the overall risk from high to serious.
The last hazard PHA-9 regarding FOD can occur when undetected FOD is present on the ground in the path of an aircraft. Engine damage could be caused in the ingestion of these and possibly causing an engine shutdown. This could happen in the critical phase of an aircraft taking off hence being assigned the severity of catastrophic. A recommended follow up action is to ensure regular FOD inspection is carried out. Airport ground staff should also be trained to ensure good habits of clearing debris immediately when spotted and not to leave debris around when carrying out their tasks. This would drop the probability of the risk from occasional to remote, dropping the risk from high to serious.

Fault Tree Analysis for PHA-2
A deeper dive into PHA-2 is carried out here using Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method to break down the event of an uncontained engine failure. This has mostly been based on the accident of Southwest Flight 1380 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania on April 17, 2018 (NTSB, 2019). The FTA of such a hazard is constructed in Figure 3 below. A fault tree is a graphical model typically used to show the cause-effect relationship in the lead up to an undesired event (Ericson, 2015). As the analysis is based on an actual accident, it can be said to be a reactive application due to using the method after the incident has occurred, however this can be referenced as a proactive application to prevent further incidents from occurring due to similar faults (Ericson, 2015).
The FTA starts with the top event, which is the uncontained engine failure, with three contributing factors. These contributing factors are a pre-existing defect, the flight environment and management actions that are connected by an ‘AND’ gate that requires all three to occur for the hazard to occur.
A pre-existing defect could be a fatigue crack on the fan-blade. This can occur after many flight cycles and is typically checked using fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) during overhaul inspections with additional visual inspections. Even though the fan blade out in the incident did undergo FPI testing, the fatigue crack was not detected and the fatigue occurred at a low cycle due to higher than normal stresses (NTSB, 2019). This was the basic event that caused in the incident, as without a fatigue crack in the fan-blade, a fan blade-out incident would not have occurred. A second pre-existing defect was that the nacelle was not well designed for containing fan blade out. This was found to be caused by the fan cowling structure design and insufficient impact analysis in an ‘AND’ gate, a combination of both factors. This was largely due to weaknesses in the radial restraint point that was not previously discovered, and the earlier success of fan blade-out containment certification tests allowed designers to assume the impact analysis was complete (NTSB, 2019). Such incidents are typically where the unknown unknowns are discovered, and changes to future design carried out with this consideration in mind.
The second contributing factor to the top event is the flight environment the aircraft engine was operating in. This is shown to be in an ‘OR’ gate of the rounds per minute (RPM) evolution of the engine and fan, or the vibrations that occurred during this phase of flight that contributed to the crack propagating and leading to a fan blade-out.

Figure 3: Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) of Uncontained Engine Failure.
Lastly, the third branch of contributing factor is the management aspect of the engine design process between airplane and engine manufacturers. There were gaps between the collaboration in identifying critical impact points, loads, effects of fan blade out and a common method of analysis (NTSB, 2019). This is carried out individually by the separate manufacturers but increased collaboration to identify critical zones would help in preventing future uncontained engine failures.
Some recommendations include incorporating additional requirement of carrying out eddy current inspection during fan blade overhaul and ultrasonic inspection at blade relubrication as additional tests in detecting blade fatigue cracks and removing cracked blades before cracks reach a critical size (NTSB, 2019). A redesign of the engine cowl structure should also be done to ensure structural integrity during the event of a fan blade-out (NTSB, 2019). Increased enforcement of collaboration between engine and aircraft manufacturers to revisit the prediction of fan blade-out impacts should be carried out in response to the operating conditions of the engine inlet, cowl the airplane’s operating environment (NTSB, 2019). These processes should be re-evaluated periodically about every 4 years as a rough estimate to incorporate new technology and other non-catastrophic incidents that may have occurred even within the designed operating environment, such that the unknown unknowns are less with the increase in operational life of the designed engine.
O&SHA for PHA-4
An O&SHA will be carried out for hazard PHA-4 of engine fuel leak into the aircraft engine. The O&SHA method identifies procedures that are hazardous, failure in human operation, design conditions that could lead to detrimental situations and hazardous conditions when operating tasks are carried out (Ericson, 2015). This analysis is also based on an engine fuel leak accident on Singapore Airlines Flight 368 (SQ 368) that occurred on June 27, 2016 as an example of tasks that lead to an engine fire. The O&SHA method is detailed in Table 3 below, highlighting six primary tasks in the operation where an engine fuel leak occurred in flight. The risk indexes of IMRI and FMRI also refer to Figure 1 above used in the earlier PHA.
The first task examined is the pilots performing the emergency checklist when the Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) display showed low levels of fuel in the right engine but with oil pressure and temperatures were in the normal operating range (TSIB, 2017). The hazard lies in the pilots completing a fuel disagree checklist but not ‘fuel leak’ checklist two hours later after many consults with the flight engineer via satellite communication, believing that the calculated fuel quantity was inaccurate after multiple adjustments in engine power settings. Additionally, there were no checklists provided for the flight crew for fuel leak check when engines are operating at different power settings (TSIB, 2017). This resulted in an inability for flight crew to diagnose a fuel leak. A recommended action to prevent a similar risk from occurring is that airlines should ensure through additional periodic training that pilots should perform the appropriate and required checklists for emergency and abnormal situations. The aircraft manufacturer should also add the a fuel leak check for engines operating under different power setting and not prematurely strike that out as a possible scenario, leaving pilots with no guidance in such situations (TSIB, 2017). This should reduce the probability of a misdiagnosis of a fuel leak situation from occasional to remote, with a severity of critical if the aircraft had sufficient fuel to divert back to the departing airport, bringing the risk down from serious to medium according to Figure 2.
The second task OHA-2 is the flight crew’s verification of the EICAS display. The cause was due to lack of an appropriate manual procedures addressing low engine oil quantity situation (TSIB, 2017). This resulted in the leak of the main fuel oil heat exchanger (MFOHE) going undetected for the remainder of the remaining flight (TSIB, 2017). A recommended action to counter this hazard would be to get the engine manufacturer to develop an algorithm for a fuel leak of such a scenario, utilizing parameters of temperature, pressure and quantity to alert the operating flight crew although such a scenario was not considered previously (TSIB, 2017). This will also allow for an early diagnosis of an anomaly and appropriate actions carried out accordingly to prevent exacerbating a fuel leak situation. The probability of a fuel leak misdiagnosis will drop from occasional to remote, with a remaining severity of critical if there is sufficient fuel to divert to an airfield safely, bringing the risk down from serious to medium.
The third task that contributed to the incident is the manner of inspecting for a fuel leak in pre-flight procedures. A maintenance crew would typically carry this out via ‘sniff check’ and in the case of SQ 368, was unable to detect the presence of fuel odour, allowing the fuel leak to be undetected in preparation for flight. A recommended action would be to improve this fuel detection method in adopting a combustible gas detector which would be more sensitive than a persons’ nose and subjected to less variability. This would reduce the occurrence of fuel leak undetected from a probability of occasional to remote, with the severity at critical due to again the reserve quantity of fuel if diversion to an airport is possible, bringing down the risk from serious to medium.
The fourth contributing task was the inspection of the faulty component MHOFE sent out in a service bulletin (SB) (TSIB, 2017). The critical level of the SB was of a fairly low level due to low occurrences of prior MHOFE leakage, simply requiring to wait till the next engine maintenance check (TSIB, 2017). If an engine like in the incident of SQ 368 had just gone through its regular maintenance before a non-serious SB issued, the faulty component in question such as a MHOFE would go undetected and contributed to a fuel leak occurrence in flight. The recommended follow-up action would be regulators such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to review its processes in classifying the seriousness of a SB, to ensure corrective actions “can be implemented more expeditiously” (TSIB, 2017, p. 34) to prevent unsafe conditions from reoccurring. As this analysis is done reactively, another recommendation would be to evaluate the need for periodic internal inspections for critical components like the MFOHE for fuel pipeline to ensure leakages do not occur at a different location. This would again reduce the probability from occasional to remote, with a severity of critical if the fuel leak does not impede the aircraft from reaching a designated landing area and situation is not aggravated. This brings down the risk from serious to medium.
The fifth task in this analysis is the reversing of thrust on both engines by flight crew upon landing. This resulted in an engine fire occurring after landing when a fuel leak is not detected and fire was ignited due to temperature increase and reduced airflow in this procedure (TSIB, 2017). This is a hazard if fuel leak goes undetected for further flight operations as well. To prevent this hazard, an earlier recommended action for diagnosis of fuel leak can be applied here, to alert the operator and ensure appropriate alternative actions can be carried out to prevent ignition of fire such as alternative landing procedures to minimize the possibility of a fire upon landing (TSIB, 2017). This would reduce the probability of the hazard of engine fire from occasional to remote and reducing the severity from catastrophic of a fire occurring to critical, dropping the risk down two levels from high to medium.
The final task of evacuating an aircraft in the event of a fuel leak, would be the flight crew not utilizing resources in evaluating the situation before evacuation is ordered. Using the incident of SQ368, the pilots were under great stress at this point and solely relied on the fire commander as the sole source of information without utilizing resources such as onboard taxiing camera, cabin crew in the different locations of the aircraft or checking through a cockpit window on ground to assess the external engine fire situation (TSIB, 2017). The recommended action would be to utilize these other resources, but due to the stressful situation, this may not happen and relying on the fire commander as the sole source as to when and where to evacuate is the right thing to do in the situation of engine fire on ground. Hence this is a rare instance where there is no change in probability and severity of the risk due to the stressful situation, and the current actions that the flight crew in the example case of SQ368 were correct and did not exacerbate the situation. The risk of the evacuation relying on the fire commander remains at medium but is necessary to highlight here as a reminder to flight crews to use resources available to improve the situational assessment in similar stressful situations.
