WHAT?
What is this training about?
This training provides a comprehensive introduction to ED-79B aviation development assurance guideline and ED-135 aviation safety assessment guideline, the two complementary EUROCAE guidelines supporting the development assurance and safety assessment of civil aircraft and airborne systems.
ED-79B defines the recommended practices for aircraft and system development, while ED-135 provides the methodologies used to perform safety assessments throughout the system lifecycle.
Together, these documents establish a structured framework for managing development assurance activities, assessing system safety, and supporting certification objectives.
This training explains how the two guidelines interact and provides participants with the knowledge required to understand and apply their principles throughout aircraft and system development programmes.
