The introduction of advanced technologies, new design concepts, and sophisticated high integrity integrated software-based digital flight control and avionics systems has confronted the FAA with the task of reviewing, revising, and updating its airworthiness assessment criteria in these areas. The FAA needs to establish and maintain systems engineering expertise as well as a capability to establish/evaluate validation/verification procedures for software-based digital systems. In order to accomplish this objective, the FAA must have expertise in fault-insertion techniques, emulation, automated reliability analyses, failure modes and effects analyses, fault-tree graphics, and other analytical tools. In addition, these skills are needed in order to interpret and evaluate data and information submitted, during the certification, process, in compliance with RTCA DO-178 and FAA Advisory Circular 25:1309-XX. This paper discusses techniques, methodologies, data, and information required for digital flight control and avionics systems validation. (Author)
