ARP4754A/ED79: Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems

This two-day course will review ARP4754A and the guidelines introduced in the revised recommended practice for aircraft and systems development. It will detail the critical concepts used in aircraft and systems development processes for certification, the aircraft/systems development process and its interactions with the safety, hardware development and software development processes. Emphasizing new material and development concepts, it will highlight and show the relationship to Software (DO-178C/ED-12C) and Hardware (DO-254/ED-80), IMA (DO-297/ED-126), and environmental conditions (DO-160G/ED-14G).

Further, it will examine ARP4754A and ARP4761 and the industry guidance for the development of aircraft and aircraft systems, and the overall aircraft operating environment and functions. This development process includes validation of requirements and verification of the design implementation for certification and product assurance. ARP4754A provides the practices for showing compliance with regulations and serves to assist companies in developing and meeting its own internal standards though application of the described guidelines.

In addition to the course handout, a copy of ARP4754A: Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems standard and AIR6110: Contiguous Aircraft/System Development Process Example standard will be provided to each participant.
