RTCA/DO-160 Testing for Commercial Aircraft
Dayton T. Brown, Inc. can test to RTCA/DO-160A, B, C, D, E and F.
RTCA/DO-160 testing covers standard procedures and environmental test criteria for testing airborne electronic equipment (avionics) for the entire spectrum of aircraft, from light general aviation aircraft and helicopters through to the “jumbo jet” and “supersonic transport” classes of aircraft. It is also coordinated with EUROCAE (European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment).
Per RTCA/DO-160 testing standards, we can perform Emissions and Susceptibility testing to 40 GHz.
Our DO-160 testing equipment can generate Radiated Susceptibility fields well in excess of 200 V/m across the frequency range of 10 kHz to 40 GHz.
We are A2LA accredited for RTCA/DO-160 testing to the latest
revision, and have large anechoic test chambers, with high current DC and AC sources available. We also offer state-of-the-art lightning testing as part of our RTCA/DO-160 testing capabilities.
