Aviation Risk Analysis

BowTie Pro supports aviation businesses and regulators around the world in visualising and understanding the aviation risks posed by aviation events, including runway incursion and fire during flight.

Identify and manage the risks

Help drive safety and aircraft maintenance activity through the identification and monitoring of key controls.

Understand transport risks

An increased awareness and understanding of aviation risk leading to the ‘Key Risk Areas' as stipulated by EASA.

Safely communicate

Visualise and communicate risks related to mining as well as the controls in place to prevent incidents. Facilitate the communication of hazards in aviation maintenance and operation both internally and with external stakeholders.

BowTie Pro™ is at the forefront of developing user-friendly risk assessment software.

Its intuitive design allows bowtie diagrams to be created either individually or collaboratively in group sessions, with data easily entered directly into the diagram or through the integrated risk register.

The bowtie diagram offers a clear visual structure—placing the hazard at the centre (the “knot”), threats on the left, and consequences on the right. This format not only supports effective risk communication but also demonstrates how risks are being actively managed to a broad audience.

BowTie Pro™ enables detailed information to be recorded against each control, including tasks, task assignments, supporting documents, hyperlinks, verification methods, and more. It also provides integration capabilities with incident investigation tools and record-keeping systems.

Visual Displays

BowTie Pro enables you to share high-level information via interactive dashboards, while the intuitive visual bowtie interface allows users to easily edit items and share updates instantly, while minimising the risk for human error. This supports full visibility of barriers and their role in effective risk management.

Secure access from anywhere

BowTie Pro Cloud Edition is accessible through your web browser, while the Standalone Edition can be installed and used locally on a Windows laptop.

Customise your diagrams

Customise your BowTie Pro experience to fit your business by using fully configurable risk matrices for assessments, grouping hazards, and defining the barrier characteristics that matter most to your organisation.

Aviation Safety in a New Light

By combining the BowTie Pro system with Avia Intelligence’s hands-on consultation, we’ve redefined how aviation safety and aviation risk management is approached. It’s no longer a tick-box exercise of documenting threats, consequences and barriers. It’s a proactive process that helps safety leaders tackle the “2am monologue”: the issues that keep them awake at night.

  • Are we spotting weak signals and latent conditions, before they become crises?
  • Do our people feel safe to speak up? Do I know the real safety picture?
  • Are we acting on risks, not just logging them?

BowTie Pro is part of the answer. It provides the technical rigour to map and monitor risks with precision, and the human-centred clarity to turn those insights into action – enhancing aviation safety.

More Than Compliance

BowTie Pro helps aviation organisations go beyond ticking regulatory boxes. It fosters a safety culture where awareness, accountability, and learning are everyday habits.


It’s not just about what the rules require.  More so, it’s about what safety demands.

Visualise, Understand, Act

BowTie Pro enables you to:

  • Identify, visualise, and monitor key controls in maintenance, operations and oversight.
  • Spot cultural and organisational risk factors and safety issues early.
  • Turn complex risk data into clear, actionable insights for decision-makers.

The bowtie diagram’s intuitive format, with hazard (event) in the centre, threats on the left, consequences on the right, not least defensive and mitigative controls, creates a shared language for discussing risk across all levels of your organisation.
