The purpose of this paper is to present experience gained at the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) with the development and certification of digital computer systems for applications in civil aviation. The safety requirements that digital avionics systems should meet are laid down in JAR-25. An equipment manufacturer can obtain a certificate of approval from the civil aviation authorities by demonstrating compliance with a mutually agreed basis for certification. Requirements and Technical Concepts for Aeronautics (RTCA) document DO-160 specifies tests that systems may be subjected to for demonstrating suitability of the hardware to operate in airborne environments. For software development, verification and validation, the guidelines given in RTCA document DO-178 need to be followed. By developing a Data Link Processor Unit (DLPU), NLR gained experience with the certification of digital avionics systems.
