WHAT?
What is this training about?
ED-80 airborne electronic hardware standard, developed by EUROCAE and equivalent to DO-254 avionics hardware standard, provides the design assurance guidance for airborne electronic hardware. It is the reference standard for the development and certification of complex electronic hardware, including ASICs and FPGAs, used in civil aviation.
Certification authorities worldwide rely on ED-80 to demonstrate compliance with airborne electronic hardware certification requirements.
This training provides a comprehensive introduction to ED-80 principles and explains how to establish a compliant hardware development process. Participants will learn how the standard is applied in practice and how certification authorities interpret and complement its objectives throughout the certification process.
WHY?
Why attend this training?
- Gain a solid understanding of the ED-80 design assurance framework for airborne electronic hardware.
- Master the key concepts of ED-80, including lifecycle processes, objectives, and Design Assurance Levels (DAL).
- Learn how to map ED-80 objectives to electronic hardware development processes according to hardware complexity.
- Understand how certification authorities interpret ED-80, including the complementary guidance provided in AMC/AC 20-152A.
- Discover industry best practices through practical examples and discussions.
- Exchange experience with professionals involved in airborne electronic hardware certification.
WHO?
Who should attend?
This course is intended for professionals involved in the development, verification, certification, or management of airborne electronic hardware, including:
- Electronic hardware developers
- FPGA and ASIC designers
- Hardware project managers
- Design assurance specialists
- Supplier monitoring and quality assurance engineers
- Compliance verification engineers
- Certification and airworthiness specialists
Participants should have a background in electronic hardware engineering, but they do not need prior knowledge of ED-80. Professionals already familiar with ED-80 will also benefit from a structured and updated perspective on current certification practices.
