But, and this should be the main focus point => With a solid AOA signal, nothing of this would have happened in the first place.
As stated before, the consequences of all failure modes must be evaluated and a hazard level assigned to each. Only when the combination of failure rate and hazard level of the consequences are considered together can a design be determined to be acceptable.
