Description / Abstract:
FOREWORD
This document was prepared jointly by EUROCAE Working Group 14
"Environment" and RTCA SC-135 "Environment", and was approved by
the Council of EUROCAE on 15 January 2015.
EUROCAE is an international non-profit making organisation in
Europe. Membership is open to manufacturers and users of equipment
for aeronautics, trade associations, national civil aviation
administrations, and, under certain conditions, non-European
organisations. Its work programme is principally directed to the
preparation of performance specifications and guidance documents
for civil aviation equipment, for adoption and use at European and
world-wide levels.
The findings of EUROCAE are resolved after discussion amongst
Members of EUROCAE and in collaboration with RTCA Inc, Washington
D.C., and/or the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), Warrendale
PA, U.S.A., through their appropriate committees.
This document is technically identical to RTCA DO-357.
EUROCAE performance specifications and other documents are
recommendations only. EUROCAE is not an official body of the
European Governments. Its recommendations are valid as statements
of official policy only when adopted by a particular government or
conference of governments.
PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
The purpose of this document is to provide users of
ED-14G/DO-160G additional background information for the associated
test procedures and requirements in ED-14G/DO-160G. This
information includes rationale for requirements, guidance in
applying the requirements, commentary, possible trouble shooting
techniques, and lessons learned from laboratory experience. This
User Guide is provided for guidance purposes and does not contain
requirements. This information is intended to help users understand
the objective and rationale behind the requirements, and to help
users develop detailed test procedures based on the general test
procedures in this document. It is highly recommended that detailed
discussion will take place between the equipment manufacturer and
the equipment installer during the development of the test
plan.
Note that the User Guide subsections are numbered independently
of the subsections in ED-14G/DO-160G.
ED-234/DO-357 replaces the User Guides previously included in
ED-14G/DO-160G.
ED-14G Change 1/DO-160G Change 1 has been published to remove
all User Guides previously included in ED-14G/DO-160G.
