Accelerate Type & Supplemental Type Certification
OEMs & Suppliers
The majority of aircraft certification programs experience significant delays, and certification and compliance activities routinely consume a disproportionate share of total program cost. The bottleneck is not engineering capability — it is the manual, document-heavy process of proving compliance across dozens of interconnected regulatory standards.
The Challenge
Requirements Traceability Across Standards
DO-178C mandates bidirectional traceability from high-level requirements through low-level requirements, source code, tests, and verification results. Every line of code must trace to a requirement; every requirement must be verified by test. Maintaining this across DO-254, ARP4754B, and ARP4761 simultaneously is where programs stall.
STC Timelines Measured in Years
Straightforward STC modifications take 3–6 months. Complex avionics or structural changes extend past a year. International validation through EASA adds additional timeline. Each delay costs development budget and market window.
Design Assurance Level Complexity
DAL A through E each impose different verification rigor, code coverage requirements, and documentation standards. Managing these across software (DO-178C), hardware (DO-254), and system-level safety assessments (ARP4761) requires coordination that manual processes cannot sustain at scale.
How We Solve It
Requirements Traceability Matrix
Automated bidirectional traceability from system requirements through design, implementation, and verification. Covers DO-178C, DO-254, and ARP4754B in a single environment.
Certification Evidence Generation
Accelerate preparation of certification documentation including Plans for Software Aspects of Certification (PSAC), Software Accomplishment Summaries (SAS), and compliance matrices.
Change Impact Analysis
When requirements change, instantly see the downstream impact on design, code, tests, and verification status. Prevent the ripple effects that delay certification.
DAL-Aware Workflows
Enforce the correct verification rigor, code coverage, and review requirements for each Design Assurance Level automatically.
