FTA is a deductive, top-down method aimed at analyzing the effects of initiating faults and events on a complex system.

FTA is very good at showing how resistant a system is to single or multiple initiating faults.

Fault tree analysis ( FTA ) is a top down, deductive failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is analyzed using boolean logic to combine a series of lower-level events.

The basic symbols used in FTA are grouped as events, gates, and transfer symbols.

Undesired events are used then to make the FTA, one event for one FTA ; no two events will be used to make one FTA.

FTA considers external events, FMEA does not.

Quantitative FTA is used to compute top event probability, and usually requires computer software such as CAFTA from the Electric Power Research Institute or SAPHIRE from the Idaho National Laboratory.

Component reliability, generally defined in terms of component failure rate, and external event probability are both used in quantitative safety assessment methods such as FTA.

One such application, ccsNet, was tested in a case study funded by the Federal Transportation Administration ( FTA ) in which the efficacy of configuration management was measured through comparing the approximately 80 % complete construction of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Agency ( LACMTA ) 1st and 2nd segments of the Red Line, a $ 5. 3 billion rail construction project.

* Deciding which countries receive trade benefits under such laws as the African Growth and Opportunity Act ( AGOA ) and the Free Trade Agreement ( FTA ), which, as one of its conditions for eligibility for such benefits, requires that a country does " not engage in activities that undermine United States national security interests ".

Even until recently, there have been a number of efforts promote East Asian regional institution such as the idea of single regional FTA like the East Asia Free Trade Area ( EAFTA ) among the ASEAN + 3 countries — the 10 ASEAN members plus the People ’ s Republic of China ( PRC ), Japan and the Republic of Korea — or a Comprehensive Economic Partnership in East Asia ( CEPEA ) among the ASEAN + 6 countries — also including Australia, India and New Zealand.

Today, the 11. 7-12. 2 GHz Ku band is used, which enables the use of dishes under a meter in diameter, allowing FTA satellite to be picked up from smaller spaces such as apartment balconies.

Both GATT and GATS are documents created by World Trade Organization ( WTO ) agreements and they lay the boundaries for subsequent bilateral agreements such as the Australia-U. S. FTA.

There are several useful methods to prevent product failures occurring in the first place, including failure mode and effects analysis ( FMEA ) and fault tree analysis ( FTA ), methods which can be used during prototyping to analyse failures before a product is marketed.

Support for this format varies between FTA receivers and some may require external apparatus to convert this Dolby Digital audio to standard analogue.

In the Dominican Republic television spectrum, there are 46 VHF, UHF, and free-to-air ( FTA ) channels.

If people are also free to move between the countries, in addition to FTA, it would also be considered an open border.

If their economical structures are competitive, it is likely there will be no incentive for a FTA, or only selected areas of goods and services will be covered to fulfill the Economic interests between the two signatories of FTA.

Free-trade areas and agreements ( FTAs ) are cascadable to some degree — if some countries sign agreements to form a free-trade area and choose to negotiate together ( either as a trade bloc or as a forum of individual members of their FTA ) another free-trade agreement with another country ( or countries ) — then the new FTA will consist of the old FTA plus the new country ( or countries ).

The FTA between Korea and China are under discussion.

The European Union ( EU ) and South Korea are important trading partners, having negotiated a free trade agreement for many years since South Korea was designated as a priority FTA partner in 2006.

The main interfaces are FTA ( files transfer automated, not FTP ) and MQSA, a Websphere MQ interface.

The CBC & SRC channel signals can also be obtained free of charge, over-the-air, through antenna receivers in Canada or in border states along the Canada-U. S. border, however CBC is not obtainable as a " free-to-air " ( FTA ) channel on FTA satellites ( signals are encrypted on the Anik space satellites ).

In North America ( US, Canada and Mexico ) there are over 80 FTA digital channels available on Galaxy 19 ( with the majority being ethnic or religious in nature ).

Why then are deterministic top-down FTA less powerful than their bottom-up counterparts?

An FTA is reduced if all its states are accessible.

Imported " Grey market " ( as the contract the operator has doesn't permit direct sales outside the intended Geographic area ) satellite receivers are sometimes used to watch both FTA and subscription channels from visitors home countries ( e. g., Cyfrowy Polsat )

The Freesat a UK service is also available in the country, as are FTA satellite channels from several other European countries.

Old PrimeStar satellite dishes are popular among hobbyists for free-to-air ( FTA ) satellite broadcasts on the K < sub > u </ sub > band transponders of FSS satellites.

" Free " variants are free-to-air ( FTA ) and free-to-view ( FTV ); however FTV services are normally encrypted and decryption cards either come as part of an initial subscription to a pay TV bouquet, i. e. an offer of pay-TV channels, or can be purchased for a one-time cost.

Both in its regular bilateral contacts with South Korea and through its FTA with Korea, the EU is seeking to improve this situation.

It was also available in North America FTA on AMC 4 satellite through the Home2US platform alongside BVN Netherlands.

After Salt Lake City won the bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics in 1995, UTA used the city's host status to accelerate obtaining funding through the Federal Transit Administration ( FTA ).

In November 2011, the Federal Transit Administration ( FTA ), through its TIGGER III Program, awarded $ 5. 7 million to SFRTA for its sustainable stations project.

In November 2011, the Federal Transit Administration ( FTA ), through its competitive Fiscal Year 2011 Sustainability Initiative, awarded $ 1. 4 million to SEPTA to install a " wayside energy storage system " on the Market-Frankford line.

Headed by an Administrator who is appointed by the President of the United States, the FTA functions through a Washington, D. C., headquarters office and ten regional offices which assist transit agencies in all states, the District of Columbia, and the territories.

The federal government, through the FTA, provides financial assistance to develop new transit systems and improve, maintain, and operate existing systems.

The FTA oversees grants to state and local transit providers, primarily through its ten regional offices.

The Media Development Authority ( MDA ) approves publications, issues arts entertainment licences and enforces the Free-to-air ( FTA ) TV Programme Code, Subscription TV Programme Code, TV Advertising Code, Radio Programme Code and Radio Advertising Code through financial penalties.

FTA is basically composed of logic diagrams that display the state of the system and is constructed using graphical design techniques.
