This work analyzes Safety Nets for certifiable AI in aviation, combining neural networks and lookup tables to guarantee correct runtime behavior. It evaluates architectural trade-offs, identifying compact designs achieving high accuracy with minimal storage. Results show significant size reductions and provide the first open-source Safety Net implementations for collision-avoidance systems.
