Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment
RTCA DO-160G provides standard procedures and environmental test criteria for testing airborne equipment for the entire spectrum of aircraft from light general aviation aircraft and helicopters through the “jumbo jets” and SST categories of aircraft.
The document includes 26 Sections and three Appendices. Examples of tests covered include vibration, power input, radio frequency susceptibility, lightning, and electrostatic discharge.
Coordinated with EUROCAE, RTCA DO-160G and EUROCAE ED-14G are identically worded. RTCA DO-160G is recognized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as de facto international standard ISO-7137.
Note: The current “User Guide material from DO-160G” has been changed and now the guide has been replaced by the DO-357. We remind you that now the DO-160G text can not be read without the DO-357 one. The new DO-357 User Guide: Supplement to DO-160G provides an update of the User Guide material for these same Sections and provide new User Guide material for Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 23.
