Development and Practice of Airborne Electronic Hardware Based on DO-254 C2104

Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance


This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese. The course materials are bilingual (English and Chinese).

Participants in this course comprehensive understanding of the DO-254 standard including how the development of airborne electronic hardware (AEH) and the development of the aircraft system are related. It addresses the key objectives, activities, and generated data of the AEH lifecycle and presents common problems in the application of DO-254 and how to prevent them. This course also includes current AEH certification requirements and interprets some of the difficulties in gaining compliance approval. Participants where certification authorities focus their monitoring for airworthiness compliance of AEH, which will help them comprehensively implement relevant certification requirements in the development of hardware products.

Learning Objectives

By attending this course you will be able to: 

  • Know the background knowledge of DO-254
  • Understand the relationship between the development of AEH and the development of the aircraft and the system
  • Interpret the DO-254 compliance in the development of AEH
  • Explore common problems in the application of DO-254
  • Understand the certification requirements of AEH

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for avionics hardware development engineers, managers, and airworthiness professionals in the aviation industry. Participants need to be practitioners in the field of hardware and software technology and have a basic knowledge of digital circuits, hardware design and testing, and certification related to airborne software and electronic hardware.
