DO-178C Training In-Depth:

DO-178C Training In-Depth Course with real-world hands-on exercises

Through this DO-178C Training in-depth course, you will learn aircraft safety, systems, software planning, software requirements, and software design/code/test. The whole environment of aviation avionics software development will be discussed briefly including but not limited to DO-178C’s relationship to other industry standards including the SAE standards ARP-4761 for Safety and ARP-4754A for Systems Development.

The DO-178C training course presents the fundamental concepts behind DO-178B/C avionics certification. It also discusses the differences between DO-178B and DO-178C, with a focus on how to use the guidance in the Object-Oriented Technologies and Related Techniques Supplement (DO-332). With DO-178C Training in-depth, you also will learn how to best apply the Ada language and GNAT Pro tool fits to agree with the certification objectives.

The DO-178C, which is Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification, is the main international standard for commercial avionics software development. RTCA/DO-178C is the fourth-generation standard for commercial airborne software. The United States Federal Aviation Administration recognized it in 2013. DO-178C gives suggestions to produce effective airborne systems and equipment software. Agreement with the objectives of DO-178C is the key tool to meeting airworthiness requirements and obtaining approval for software used in civil aviation products.
