COURSE OVERVIEW
This RTCA-DO-160G Training on Environment Testing of Airbourne Equipment is an important step for testing and certifying your products in accordance with the FAA/EASA test requirements

DO-160G Training covers the RTCA-DO-160G standard for Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment. DO-160G training course provides the knowledge applied to DO-160G and how its role in systems engineering processes including requirements, design, product certification, and Technical Standard Orders.

RTCA/DO-160 has been used as a standard for environmental testing since 1958 and it defines standard environmental test conditions (categories) and applicable test procedures for airborne equipment. RTCA-DO-160 (or its precursor, RTCA/DO-138) is the standard for environmental testing since 1958. It defines standard environmental test conditions (categories) and applicable test procedures for airborne equipment.

Learn how you can perform DO-160G tests as a way of demonstrating the performance characteristics of airborne equipment in environmental conditions that may be encountered in the operation of the equipment in aircraft. System and Hardware engineers, Test engineers, System qualification engineers, environmental specialists, specialists, project or process managers

CUSTOMIZE IT
CUSTOMIZE IT
  • We can adapt this DO-160G course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
  • If you are familiar with some aspects of this DO-160G course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the DO-160G Course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
  • If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policymaker), and present the DO-160G course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
AUDIENCE/TARGET GROUP
AUDIENCE/TARGET GROUP

The target audience for this RTCA-DO-160G course:
