ARP4754
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ARP4754 (Certification Considerations for Highly-Integrated Or Complex Aircraft Systems) is a standard from SAE, dealing with the development processes and certification of Aircraft systems.[1] EUROCAE jointly issues the document as ED79. The current version is ARP4754A and ED79A, retitled as Guidelines For Development Of Civil Aircraft and Systems.

Objectives of the document

ARP4754 addresses primarily Avionics and especially Avionics software, in the context of an ever increasing integration of the aircraft control systems. It is intended to be used in conjunction with SAE ARP4761, and is supported by other aviation standards such as RTCA DO-178B and DO-254. It concerns itself with the whole life-cycle for systems that implement aircraft functions. The objective of this document is to provide guidance on the development of such systems in the certification context.

History
ARP4754 was defined in the context of aircraft certification, in particular Part 25 Sections 1301 and 1309 of harmonized civil aviation regulations for transport category airplanes. These are found in the U.S. FAA Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) at 14 CFR 25.1309 and the corresponding European JAA Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR), which have been replaced by EASA certification standards. FAA Advisory Circular AC 25.1309-1A, System Design and Analysis, explains certification methodology for Part 25 Section 1309.[2] In May 1996, the FAA Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) was tasked with a review of harmonized FAR/JAR 25.1309, AC 1309-1A, and related documents, and to consider revision to AC 1309-1A incorporating recent practice and the impplications of new technology. This task was published in the Federal Register at 61 FR 26246-26247 (1996-05-24). The focus was to be on safety assessment and fault-tolerant critical systems. In a parallel effort, SAE published ARP4754 in November 1996. In 2002 ARAC submitted to the FAA a draft Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and draft revision AC 1309-1B (the draft ARSENAL version) recognizing the role of ARP4754 in complex system certification.[3] This draft remains unreleased, but ARP4754 became broadly recognized as an appropriate standard for aircraft system development and certification.

corresponding EASA Acceptable Means of Compliance AMC 25.1309 (included as a section of CS-25) does recognize ARP4754/ED79. The FAA and EASA have both subsequently recognized ARP4754/ED79 as valid for certification of other aircraft categories, and for specific systems such as avionic databuses. ARP4754A and ED79A were released by SAE and EUROCAE in December 2010. The document title has changed to Guidelines For Development Of Civil Aircraft and Systems.
