Reduces the capability of the system or the operators to cope with adverse operating condition to the extent that there would be Significant reduction in safety margin or functional capability, Significant increase in operator workload, Conditions impairing operator efficiency or creating significant discomfort; Physical distress to occupants of aircraft (except operator) including injuries; Major occupational illness and/or major environmental damage, and/or major property damage. 3/9/2021 MIL STD 882 E Table I 12

Severity Categories (cont) Category MIL-STD 882 E 4 Could result in one or Negligible/ more of the following: Minor injury or occupational illness mot resulting in a lost work day, minimal environmental impact, or monetary loss less than $100 K. FAA Sys Safety HDBK Does not significantly reduce system safety. Actions required by operators are well within their capabilities. Include: Slight reduction in safety margin or functional capabilities Slight increase in workload such as routine flight plan changes Some physical discomfort to occupants or aircraft (except operators) Minor occupational illness and or minor environmental damage and/or minor property damage 3/9/2021 MIL STD 882 E Table I 13

Software Risk Levels Description of Risk Levels A SW implementation or SW design defect that upon occurring during normal or credible off-nominal operations or tests: High • Can lead directly to a catastrophic or critical mishap • Places the system in a condition where no independent functioning interlocks preclude the potential occurrence of a catastrophic or critical mishap Serious • Can lead directly to a marginal or negligible mishap • Places the system in a condition where only one independent functioning interlock or human action remains to preclude the potential occurrence of a catastrophic or critical hazard 3/9/2021 882 E App B Table B-1 17

Software Risk (Continued) Risk Levels Description of Risk Levels A SW implementation or SW design defect that upon occurring during normal or credible off-nominal operations or tests: Medium • Influences a marginal or negligible mishap, reducing the system to a single point of failure • Places the system in a condition where two independent functioning interlocks or human actions remain to preclude the potential occurrence of a catastrophic or critical hazard Low • Influences a catastrophic or critical mishap, but where three independent functioning interlocks or human actions remain • Would be a causal factor for a marginal or negligible mishap, but two independent functioning interlocks or human actions remain • A SW degradation or a safety critical function that is not categorized as high, serious, or medium safety risk • A requirement that, if implemented, would negatively impact safety, however, code is implemented safely 3/9/2021 882 E App B TAble B-1 18
