This pack is derived from:
    FAA System Safety Handbook
    FAA (US Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration), December 30, 2000

Source licence: Public Domain (US Government work, 17 U.S.C. 105)  (tier 1 — see ../../docs/SOURCE-VETTING.md)
No source-material download link is published (see ../../docs/LICENSING.md).

This source is a work of the United States Government, prepared by the Federal Aviation
Administration, and is therefore NOT subject to copyright protection in the United States
(17 U.S.C. 105). It is in the public domain: anyone may reproduce, transform, and redistribute
it for any purpose, including commercially, without permission. Attribution to the FAA is
provided as a courtesy (see the repository NOTICE), not a legal obligation, and the FAA does
not endorse this pack or its authors.

THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL CAVEAT: the handbook names and, in places, draws on external standards and
handbooks that remain the copyright of their respective publishers and are NOT in the public
domain — including MIL-STD-882 / MIL-STD-882C, RTCA DO-178B, NASA-STD-8719.13A, the Joint
Software System Safety Committee (JSSSC) Software System Safety Handbook, the System Safety
Society's System Safety Analysis Handbook (Stephens & Talso), and ISO/IEC/IEEE material. This
pack reproduces none of that third-party text. It contains only synthesized, transformed
reference notes that NAME those standards and describe, in original words, how the FAA applies,
tailors, or cross-walks them. The severity/likelihood categories, fault-tree symbology, and
software-control-category tables that the handbook attributes to those sources are described,
not reprinted.

REPRINT CAVEAT: third-party redistributions of the handbook (for example a vendor copy carrying
added front matter, watermarks, or editorial commentary) are NOT part of the public-domain work.
Cite and quote the FAA original, not a reprint.

VERSION CAVEAT: this is the December 30, 2000 handbook. It predates the modern FAA/ICAO Safety
Management System (SMS) and Just Culture regulatory frameworks, and many of the FAA orders,
advisory circulars, and commercial-launch-licensing rules it cites have since been restructured.
Confirm current regulatory citations before relying on them.
