Such as engine fire, could monitor the engine temperature or thrust produced by engine \item This would have required a substantial amount of planning as checklists does have a bit of logic like if statements, for example \enquote{If APU is available, then do \ldots else do \ldots} \end{itemize} \item Objective 2.b was also met to an extent \begin{itemize} \item However, it is manual at this stage due to limitations of XPC and setting up the aircraft \item The test data is stored on the database, hence test results can be analysed to see the consistency between each test \end{itemize} \item The Checklist Tester does not currently run actions from the Formal Model due to implementing the functions from VDMJ being laborious \item Hence focus was put on XPC first, as it would produce direct results \end{itemize} \section{What Next} \end{document}
