Mistral Solutions along with Esterel Technologies and LDRA organized a seminar on “DO-178C Airborne Safety Regulation Standard” in Bangalore on April 20th 2012.
DO-178B air worthiness regulation has been in force since 1992, driving the certification process of most civilian aircrafts and systems. Given the technology evolvement, new design tools and inputs and constraints from all stakeholders (airframers, system suppliers, design tool supplier and certification authorities), a DO-178C initiative was launched in 2007 to update DO-178B, according to new design methodologies. DO-178C was approved by the committee in December 2011 and has been released in 2012. The seminar detailed the new DO-178C approach and how to comply with it.
