Digital Avionics Validation Handbook

Digital Avionics Validation

The Official Handbook on CD-ROM

The document used by FAA engineers for certifying avionics systems.

The most comprehensive text ever written on digital avionics, it consists of two volumes for a total of 3000 pages. It covers hundreds of subjects of interest to engineers, manufacturers, installers and others concerned with software-driven avionics. Its authors are drawn from two dozen major aerospace organizations in government and industry.

For the first time, the handbook is offered on CD-ROM---eliminating 13 pounds of paper and reducing the original cost of $274 by two-thirds. The complete set, published exclusively on CD-ROM by avionics.com, is priced at only $79.

Just as important, the CD-ROM enables you to instantly retrieve information anywhere in 33 chapters, 6 appendices and several glossaries. Every subject has a hypertext link---just click and you're at the topic of interest. You can also key in any combination of words to rapidly search the whole document. For the first time, an encyclopedia of digital avionics is at your fingertips to consult on design, engineering, software, reliability, certification and other vital issues. Major highlights of the 2-volume set include:
