DO-254 Training | Design Assurance of Airborne Electronic Hardware

DO-254 Training | Design Assurance of Airborne Electronic Hardware

DO-254 Training:

DO-254 Training covers principals, objectives, and guidance for design assurance of airborne electronic hardware based on RTCA DO-254/Eurocae ED-80 standards. Do-254 Training covers all aspects of airborne electronic hardware from conception through initial certification and subsequent post-certification product improvements to ensure continued airworthiness. Getting familiar with DO-254 defines objectives that must be met by avionics equipment manufacturers according to EASA and FAA guidelines.<>

DO-254 is a two-day training class providing a good overview and application of DO-254 as defined by current FAA and EUROCAE ED-12C / ED-109A guidance. Students will learn current FAA and EASA guidance on the application of DO-254 in airborne systems. DO-254 training also covers the objectives of RTCA DO-254’s five levels of criticality from level A (highest) to level E (lowest). These design assurance levels are required for all civil airborne electronic hardware. Learn also how military airborne applications such as A400M are now requiring DO-254 compliance.

Learn about DO-254, Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware

DO-254 Training is intended to help aircraft manufacturers and suppliers of aircraft electronic systems techniques on how to assure that electronic airborne equipment safely performs its intended function. The DO-254 training clarifies design life cycle processes for hardware that includes line replaceable units, circuit board assemblies, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic devices, etc. It also characterizes the objective of the design life cycle processes and offers a means of complying with DO-254 certification requirements.
