Airborne Electronic Hardware Design Assurance: A Practitioner's Guide to RTCA/DO-254

by Randall Fulton

Written by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) consultant designated engineering representative (DER) and an electronics hardware design engineer who together taught the DO-254 class at the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, Inc. (RTCA) in Washington, District of Columbia, USA, Airborne Electronic Hardware Design A Practitioner's Guide to RTCA/DO-254 is a testimony to the lessons learned and wisdom gained from many years of first-hand experience in the design, verification, and approval of airborne electronic hardware.This practical guide to the use of RTCA/DO-254 in the development of airborne electronic hardware for safety critical airborne how to optimize engineering processes and practices to harmonize with DO-254Addresses the single most problematic aspect of engineering and compliance to DO-254—poorly written requirementsIncludes a tutorial on how to write requirements that will minimize the cost and effort of electronic design and verificationDiscusses the common pitfalls encountered by practitioners of DO-254, along with how those pitfalls occur and what can be done about themSettles the ongoing debate and misconceptions about the true definition of a derived requirementPromotes embracing DO-254 as the best means to achieve compliance to it, as well as the best path to high-quality electronic hardwareAirborne Electronic Hardware Design A Practitioner's Guide to RTCA/DO-254 offers real-world insight into RTCA/DO-254 and how its objectives can be satisfied. It provides engineers with valuable information that can be applied to any project to make compliance to DO-254 as easy and problem-free as possible.

It was really beneficial and make it easier to understand DO-254 concepts. Anyone should read it before working in a DO-254 project.
