About this course
Introduces the revised SAE standard ARP4754B and its guidelines for aircraft and systems development, which drive regulatory compliance and help companies develop and meet their own internal standards. Topics follow the development assurance process from certification and planning, through the development process, safety assessment and development assurance level assignment, requirements capture and validation, implementation verification, configuration management and process assurance, to project closure and modification or reuse. Learning is through hands-on activities, group discussions and an exam.
SAE states that the instructors are writers of the standard and that it offers the course directly as the authorized SAE training for ARP4754B. It pairs with C2302 on ARP4761A safety assessment.
