The work is in addition to pilot parachutes, focused and most ballistic rescue systems for aircraft and firing parachute systems, which fulfill an equally important role in aviation. The issue was analyzed by FMEA analysis, which was applied to the automatic rescue system. The outcome of this study is the evaluation criteria of current technical systems to reduce the risk number “R”. For each of the safety enhancement solutions, the article contains a separate proposal for technical improvements that are suitable for implementation in practice. Such solutions ultimately represent an increase in civil aviation safety as such.skhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/FMEARescue parachute systemAutomatic activation deviceParachuteAircraftBook of proceedingshttps://doi.org/10.26552/zbk.Z.2020.1.6
