Avionics embedded systems are confronted to sensors errors or inaccuracies. It is essential to be able to estimate the impact and the propagation of these errors on the system computed outputs. This paper comes from achieved work in the context of an industrial project in the avionics area. It presents a formal approach allowing to analyse the reaction of a LUSTRE program to inaccurate input values. It uses program analysis techniques like abstract interpretation and interval analysis. The approach has been implemented in Java and applied to parts of a flight control system of the AIRBUS aircrafts.
