Aircraft are highly adaptable to accommodate the large requirement variety from the very diverse group of aircraft operators. Consequently the adaptability of (embedded) software is appreciated. In the application discussed, the safety of the aircraft depends on the correct functioning of the embedded software. In order not to compromise on safety, strict development procedures have to be adhered to. This is ensured by an independent governmental authority which certifies the embedded software as fit-for-use, i.e. airworthy. Based on practical experience, the way the airworthiness and the requirement volatility influence the embedded software development is discussed.
