EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR SERIES
1. Overview of Aerospace Standards for First-Time Applicants
The first in the series focuses on the Certification Basis & Means of Compliance by looking at the latest UAS regulations and standards. Then it lays the groundwork for subsequent webinars by introducing the main aerospace industry standards/guidance material (i.e. SAE ARP4754A/4761, RTCA/DO-178C, and RTCA/DO‑254). The webinar ends with a discussion on the challenges first-time applicants face when trying to certify aircraft systems.
2. Introduction to the Safety Assessment Process for Civil Aircraft, Systems and Equipment (SAE ARP 4761)
The webinar introduces the Safety Process outlined in SAE ARP 4761. It looks at the system safety in the scope of an aircraft development and type certification. Then focuses on the system safety assessment process overview, the system safety assessment processes & analysis methods, and closes with looking at the interfaces with a typical aircraft system development process.
3. Development of Civil Aircraft & Systems (SAE ARP 4754A)
The webinar discusses how one can use ARP4754A to demonstrate that a complex system functions as intended and that any unintended functions are identified and eliminated. Specifically, it quickly goes through an overview of what ARP4754A is about and discussed questions that should be asked before starting the application of ARP4754A standard.
4. Software Considerations for Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification (RTCA/DO 178C)
Webinar is an introduction on the DO-178C starting with a historical perspective of the standard. We then present an overview of the document and a high-level description of processes including a focus on the process objectives and the resulting life cycle data from executing these processes as they relate to SW Design Assurance Level.
5. Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware (RTCA/DO 254)
Webinar starts with an introduction on the DO-254 to understand why and when the DO-254 was developed and how it is applied. Then we present an overview of the document, we will go through the different processes defined in DO-254, along with the objectives an life cycle data that are defined. In this webinar we will not go into detail in all the processes but we will discuss some of the differences between the DO‑254 and the DO-178C, which is the guidance material related to the certification of software. To finish we talk about the latest regulation related to the hardware certification, the AMC20‑152A and more specifically we will address the certification of the COTS IP.
6. Avionics Application Software Standard Interface (ARINC 653)
Webinar dedicated to the ARINC 653 standard. ARINC 653 standard is the industry de facto standard specifying the standardized interface for a real-time operating system (RTOS). Specific elements that will be presented include: System Architecture, Partition Scheduling & Time Management, Partition Operating Modes, Process Management, Inter-partition communication, Intra-partition communication, Interrupt & Memory Block services, and Health Monitoring Configuration.
7. Sample Architecture for a UAS Within the ARINC 653 Context
Webinar #7 will look at a sample UAS and apply concepts presented in earlier webinars. The webinar start with a look at a sample UAS and its functionalities. The allocation of functional design assurance levels to the UAS functionalities and then looks at how partitioning can be applied to an autopilot sub-system. Finally we show how a software partitioning strategy can be used for effectively certifying products.
8. Role-Based Development Using an ARINC 653 Compliant RTOS (MRTOS)
The webinar presents the various aspects of using role-based development with an ARINC 653 Compliant RTOS. Then it focuses on the roles of the different actors involved in SW Development. The webinar rounds out with a brief look at a SW integrated development environment that aligns with the role-based development approach.
9. Introduction to CAST 32A for Software Airborne Systems Executing on Multi-Core Processors
Webinar to introduce the audience to the CAST-32A concerns and identify topics that impact the safety, performance, and integrity of a software airborne system, executing on MultiCore Processors. The webinar will also give a brief introduction to concepts that are implemented in the MANNARINO RealTime Operating System (M-RTOS) that can help address the CAST-32A concerns.
10. An Overview on Special Committee EUROCAE WG 117 / RTCA SC-240 Topics of Software Advancement
Webinar to review the progress in Industry Standards & Guidance Material for certifying Uncrewed Aircraft Systems. We will look at the specific guidance material discussed within the EUROCAE WG-117 / RTCA SC-240 Topics on Software Advancements related to Low Risk SW Certification for UAS.
11. Microprocessor Selection... What Makes it So Difficult
This webinar will look at why is it so difficult to choose a microprocessor. To help developers, we propose a technical approach to processor selection. We will walk the audience through the 6 key elements of the technical approach and look at some of the key questions that need to be answered when selecting a processor.
