ARP-4754B:
Aircraft & System Development Assurance Training

Integrated engineering approach for developing complex avionics systems compliant with certification.

COURSE DEFINITION AND PURPOSE

System Level Assurance

ARP-4754B serves as the foundational guidance for the development of complex aircraft and systems in civil and military aerospace. BRNAvionics delivers this training as a strategic starting point, treating this document as the primary reference that governs from aircraft-level requirements and through all downstream system-level activities to item development (DO-178C and DO-254).

Training Objectives
Master Aircraft & System Fundamentals

Gain a profound understanding of the development assurance fundamentals required to manage complex functional integrations at both the aircraft and system levels.

Analyze Certification Impact

Learn to evaluate how high-level aircraft and system architecture and design decisions directly influence meeting safety objectives and the certification path to regulatory compliance.

Strategic DAL Allocation

Acquire expertise in assigning Development Assurance Levels (DAL) based on aircraft and system level safety assessments and ensuring robust integration across the lifecycle.

Safety Process Integration

Master the methodologies for flowing down safety objectives and requirements into verifiable implementations.

Process Implementation and Management

Develop the skills to establish and maintain rigorous development evidence that fulfills regulatory expectations during formal aircraft and system life-cycle.

Authority Expectations

Understand authority expectations including EASA CM-DASA-002.

Our training programs are delivered exclusively as in-company sessions.

Role in the Certification Ecosystem

ARP-4754B is the highest level control mechanism in the aircraft and system safety chain.

ARP-4761

Link between safety analysis and system architecture.

DO-178C

Primary input for software certification.

DO-254

Requirement allocation for hardware certification.

CM-DASA-002

Authority assurance and audit approach.

System Life Cycle and Requirements

Full traceability from planning phase to lower-level allocation components.

System Requirements

Verifiable, traceable requirement management consistent with safety analysis.

Requirement Allocation

Management and relationship with DAL levels for software and hardware allocation.

System Life Cycle

Integrated process structure from requirement definition to validation and verification (V&V).

Architecture and Verification Strategies

We transform system design decisions into strategic goals from both technical and certification perspectives.

Functional Analysis & Architecture

Redundancy, segregation, and fail-safe principles. Certification impacts of design decisions.

System Integrity

Validation & Verification

System-level verification methods, expected evidence, and lower-level certification links.

Process Assurance

Development Assurance Decisions

System decisions are processes that require proving not just “what was done” but “how it was done” before the authority.

Independence

Impartiality and process assurance requirements in verification activities.

DAL Allocation

Segregation of risks into DAL levels at the system level and justification.

Audit and Application Perspective

Methods for examining system processes in authority audits and preparation strategies.

Planning

Approval of system plans and assurance strategy.

Implementation

Analysis of requirements and architectural decisions.

Verification

Checking V&V outputs and assurance evidence.

Final Acceptance

System-level audit approval and certification.

CM-DASA-002 Approach

The authority’s perspective on system processes, critical questions asked, and identification of weak areas.

Defensible Processes

Professional preparation and response generation methods against process findings during audits.

System Assurance Topics

Development assurance and integration challenges in complex projects.

Traceability Chain

Certification risks of breaks in the requirement chain.

Safety Integration

Natural link and processes between ARP4754A and ARP4761.

Roles & Responsibilities

Independence management in Development Assurance processes.

System Architecture

Strategic impacts of fail-safe and redundancy decisions.

Validation Depth

Assurance of correct identification of system requirements.

Training Methodology and Deliverables

We reinforce system engineering with a development assurance perspective.

Practical Guidance
