DO-178C, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification is the primary document by which the certification authorities such as FAA, EASA and Transport Canada approve all commercial software-based aerospace systems.
Calls attention to RTCA DO-178C [3] w/guidance for Rev B to Rev C change. [9] AC 20-115D 2017 Minor updates largely to harmonize with EASA guidance. [10] [4] [11]
The Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST) is an international group of aviation certification and regulatory authority representatives. The organization of has been a means of coordination among representatives from certification authorities in North and South America, Europe, and Asia, in particular, the FAA and EASA.
Some advisory circulars are only a few pages long and do little more than reference a recommended standard; for example, AC 20-152 referencing DO-254. [8] Others, like AC 20-115 C/D, are considerably longer; in this case including guidance on how to transition from DO-178 revision B to C [ 9 ] while AC 20-152A adds several new objectives to an ...
The DO-254/ED-80 standard is the counterpart to the well-established software standard RTCA DO-178C/EUROCAE ED-12C. With DO-254/ED-80, the certification authorities have indicated that avionics equipment contains both hardware and software, and each is critical to safe operation of aircraft.
Like DO-178C and DO-278A, it is a joint RTCA undertaking with EUROCAE and the document is also published as ED-94C, Supporting Information for ED-12C and ED-109A. [2] The publication does not provide any guidance additional to DO-178C or DO-278A; rather, it only provides clarification for the guidance established in those standards. [3]

For the electronics that provide communication and control of the systems, this means a move towards compliance with DO-178C and DO-254 for software and hardware development. [4] In most cases, unmanned aircraft (UA) can only be operated as part of a system, hence the term “unmanned aircraft system” (UAS).
