The purpose of the RTCA DO-178 standard, issued by the Radio Technical Aviation Commission (RTCA), is to provide guidance for determining, in a harmonious manner and with acceptable confidence, that software aspects of airborne systems and equipment comply with airworthiness requirements.
This standard includes the following:
The RTCA DO-178 standard describes these aspects of airworthiness certification related to the production of software for airborne systems and equipment used in aircraft or engines.
In other words, the RTCA DO-178 standard is designed to provide guidelines for the production of software for airborne systems and equipment that perform their intended function with a level of security that complies with airworthiness requirements.
This standard discusses aspects of airworthiness certification related to the production of software for airborne systems and equipment used in aircraft or engines. Within the scope of this standard, security levels are defined as the potential result of an undetected error in certified software. For each defined level, such results are as follows:
These levels are related to the criticality of the airborne system. Flight control, navigation and all wireless flight systems are flight critical and require A-level certification under the DO-178 standard. Entertainment systems are at the other end of the criticality spectrum, with E-level systems It is.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides testing services for software-related issues in airborne systems and equipment certification within the scope of RTCA DO-178 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
