Software Considerations in Certification of Airborne Systems and Equipment, Advanced DO-178C Training Workshop

DO-178 title: "Software considerations in certification of airborne systems and equipment".

This document is a document of all commercial software-based aerospace systems approved by certification bodies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Transport Canada.

DO-178C is the current universal standard following its predecessor DO-178B. DO-178C inherits the core documents, principles and processes of DO-178B, while adding support for advanced modeling, object-oriented programming and formal methods, and focuses on the two-way traceability from model to executable code.

DO-178C added supplements:

• DO-330: Software Tool qualification
• DO-331: Model-based Design & Verification
• DO-332: Object Oriented Technology
• DO-333: Formal method

DO-178C divides security into five levels:

• Level A: Catastrophic
• Level B: Hazardous
• Level C: Major
• Level D: Minor
• Level E: No Safety Effect

Tonex Provides Advanced DO-178C Training Workshop

Training covers all the functions of the DO-178C rule and its supplementary documents, including DO-330, DO-331, DO-332 and DO-333. You will understand the theory, logic and evolution path of DO-178C, and will learn the tools and techniques required to implement this certification in your organization.

The advanced DO-178C training workshop by Tonex is mainly dedicated to practical activities, including laboratories, group activities and hands-on seminars. Although this course agenda is designed to be comprehensive and cover all required materials, Tonex can still adjust it flexibly according to the needs of your organization.

DO-178C and its predecessor DO-178B both focus on the following:

• Identifying system and hardware interfaces.
• Define the critical level of the software.
• Define software life cycle processes
• Define the necessary documents for each level of the software.
• Focus on the goals, the applicability of the software level and the necessary outputs to ensure quality expectations

Audience:

• Software engineers
• Project managers
• Systems engineers
• Software quality engineers
• Test engineers
• Quality and process assurance personnel
