These templates offer the following features:

 

•  They can be used with any level ARP-4754A, DO-254, DO-178C and/or DO-331 project.  Instructions in the template provide guidance for completing each section, and for deleting sections that are not necessary for lower software and hardware levels, or if DO-331 is not used.  

•  Easy to follow instructions to customize the templates for your project, while ensuring compliance

•  Text is provided for various project types, such as a software component that will be integrated by another party, a software component that is part of a product, and a software application that is part of an IMA system.  Instructions are provided to select, modify, add or delete text to fit your project.

•  The QA Plan and CM Plan templates can meet any combination of DO-178C, DO-254 and APR-4754A, as the QA and CM functions are typically very similar across those standards.  If you only need to meet one or two of the standards, instructions provide guidance on sections and text to delete.

•  DO-254 templates address additional guidance included in FAA Order 8110.105A and EASA Certification Memo SWCEH-001

•  How to address new DO-178C/DO-331 topics, such as Parameter Data Item Files, Single Event Upsets, DO-330 Tool Qualification, Model Coverage Analysis, and Model Simulation.

•  How to address supplier oversight.

•  Structured so your plans can be used across multiple products (except for the PSAC and PHAC), and for multiple certifications projects (including the Change Impact Analysis process).

•  Flexibility for use with your processes and tools

 

Future revisions of the templates will address the upcoming FAA/EASA harmonized AC 20-152A. These upgrades will be provided free of charge to those who purchase the initial versions.
