There are several relatively new certification standards related to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) certification that have recently been invoked by the certification authorities. These standards include SAE ARP-4754A, Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems, RTCA DO-297, Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) Development Guidance and Certification Considerations, and RTCA DO-178C, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification. RTCA DO-254, Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware, and TSO C153, Integrated Modular Avionics Hardware Elements, are also applicable to IMA certification. As many of these standards have only recently been invoked in Advisory Circulars by the Certification Authorities, the industry has little experience in complying with them individually, and even less experience complying with them collectively.
