Airborne Electronic Hardware Design Assurance: A Practitioner's Guide to RTCA/DO-254 provides practical guidance for engineers, managers, and certification professionals working with safety-critical airborne electronic hardware. Written by Randall Fulton and Roy Vandermolen, the book draws on direct experience with FAA certification, DO-254 instruction, hardware design, verification, validation, configuration management, process assurance, and common compliance pitfalls.
The book explains how to align engineering processes with DO-254 objectives, improve requirements quality, understand derived requirements, plan hardware aspects of certification, and apply verification strategies that support reliable airborne systems. It is especially useful for practitioners developing programmable logic devices and other electronic hardware for aviation applications.
Application Scope: Intended for aerospace engineers, hardware designers, verification engineers, certification specialists, DERs, project managers, and students working with RTCA/DO-254, airborne electronic hardware, safety-critical avionics, and FAA certification programs.
