NLR currently is co-developing a civil avionics application that connects aircraft subsystems with the aircraft flight deck by means of modern digital data buses. It combines, controls, processes, and forwards the data between the subsystems and the flight deck. For this kind of application, certification is required by an independent, government-authorized third party. Guidelines for this certification are documented in the DO-178B standard: Software considerations in airborne systems and equipment certification. This paper describes practical experiences with DO-178B. The software development methodology used to guarantee the reliability, maintainability, safety, and certifiability of the product in a commercial environment is discussed. Requirements volatility and short time-to-market characterize the commercial reality.
