RTCA hosts a three-day training course, tailored specifically to design/verification engineers and project/certification managers requiring DO-254 compliance.

Conducted by Randall Fulton/Roy Vandermolen, experienced consultants, FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DER), and author, this three-day course will:

  • Provide an overview and application of RTCA DO-254, as defined by current FAA and EASA guidance in airborne electronic systems.
  • Describe how to apply the DO-254 lifecycle and supporting processes, understand system safety assessments and the design assurance level (DAL), set up a project correctly through proper planning and standards.
  • Present techniques for writing requirements for electronic hardware and how to optimize requirements for the verification processes.
  • Describe how to efficiently and effectively verify requirements with simulation and hardware test.
  • Address specific considerations, for programmable logic devices (PLDs) such as FPGA/ASIC versus all electronics, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components usage, and tool assessment and qualification 
Note: Please be reminded that the standards referenced in this course must be obtained by the student and are not included with course registration.

Members will receive access to the standard(s) through their company library (my.rtca.org) at no additional cost. 

Non-Members may purchase the standard(s) via the RTCA store
