| ERA Technology, in conjunction with the Civil Aviation Authority, has launched a new training course 'Software Development for Aircraft Systems using RTCA DO-178B'. RTCA DO-178B is also known in Europe as EUROCAE ED-12B.
|
This internationally recognised standard covers techniques and methods used for the management and development of software for airborne digital computer based equipment and systems. It provides guidance to both industry and regulators for use in the certification process. The CAA had expressed the view that the only training against the EUROCAE and RTCA standards specifically was in the USA. ERA Technology has experience in the certification of software developed for safety critical avionic systems and is ideally placed to partner the CAA in developing and presenting AccessERA's new course. |
The course programme covers the correct use of RTCA DO-178B/EUROCAE ED-12B, different software safety strategies and planning, requirements analysis (including derived requirements and validation requirements), verification strategy and certification.
Although the RTCA DO-178B/EUROCAE ED-12B standard is specifically for aircraft systems, the principals covered can be applied to safety related and critical systems in all industry sectors.
The next course will be run on 17-18 November 2005 and 16-17 May 2006 in Leatherhead. For more information about the course programme and future dates, please visit http://shop.era.co.uk or contact the AccessERA courses team by telephone: +44 (0) 1372 367117 or e-mail: events@era.co.uk.
