DO 254

What is DO-254?
DO-254 (also known as DO254, D0254 and Eurocae ED-80) is a formal avionics standard which provides guidance for design assurance of airborne electronic hardware. DO-254 provides certification information from project conception, planning, design, implementation, testing, and validation, including DO-254 Tool Qualification considerations. DO-254 and DO-178B are actually quite similar, with both having major contributions via personnel with formal software process expertise. Until recently, avionics hardware certification did not require the same strict avionics certification standards as did software via DO-178B. But, avionics systems are comprised of both hardware and software, with each have near-equal affect upon airworthiness. Now, most avionics projects come under a DO-254 certification or compliance mandate. Additional information can be found via our formal DO-254 training provided in 1-day and 2-day formats.
