RTS and Safety Case
Many years ago, when I worked at Boscome Down, I was deeply involved in the RTS trials for the Nimrod aircraft. Before entering service it was issued with a RTS certificate by CA. That, basically said, that the aircraft was safe to fly and operate within certain parameters. In effect it was its "safety case", and remained that way until around 2002.
Can someone explain to me what the difference is, now, between RTS and the Safety Case?
