Aircraft Avionics Certification Workshop (3 day)

(EOI for this course) (Top of page)

Content
The workshop is aimed at engineers having to introduce and certify new and modified avionics in ADF aircraft. The focus of the workshops is to describe the rationale driving the FAA requirements associated with integrated avionics systems and provide interpretation of those requirements. The course will be delivered by Mr Mike DeWalt of Certification Services Inc. CSI has developed the workshop using the considerable expertise of former FAA specialists and chief engineers from The Boeing Company. The FAA system is the basis of DGTA's system and ADF specific concepts will also be discussed throughout the course. This training has been organised by SCI1 on a number of previous occasions and was well received by ADO and industry participants.

Format
Course delivered over 3 days, traditionally at 2 locations, up to 25 participants per session.

Timeframe
Sep 2010 - RAAF Williams - Laverton

Participation Cost
There is no cost involved for uniformed and APS personnel. Industry participants are asked to pay a pro-rata fee (in the past approx $1250.00 per person).

Other Cost
Individual participants are responsible for organising and funding their travel, meals and accommodation.

Aviation Software Design Assurance under DO-178B (3 day)

(EOI for this course) (Top of page)

Developed and delivered by Mike DeWalt, a senior scientist of Certification Services inc, one of the key architects of DO-178B and a former FAA National Resource Specialist for software policy with many years of industry experience. DO-178B is an international standard accepted by numerous international airworthiness authorities and the ADF preferred software assurance standard. The course is aimed at software practitioners directly involved in airborne software engineering, software assurance and design acceptance. This training has been organised by SCI1 on number of previous occasions and was well received by ADO and industry participants. DGTA specific requirements will also be discussed throughout the course.

Introduction to Aviation Software Design Assurance (1 day)

(EOI for this course) (Top of page)

Content
Jointly developed by Certification Services Inc and SCI-DGTA staff, the course is delivered by members of SCI1. This course is a simplified version of the Aviation Software Design Assurance under DO-178B (3 day) course with some DGTA specific information. The 1-day Aviation Software Design Assurance course is aimed at managers of software programs and those requiring insight into software assurance as opposed to practitioners.

Format
Course delivered over 1 day at various locations depending on need.

Timeframe
No set schedule for this course. Lectures to be delivered when required and/or scheduled with the host unit

Participation Cost
There is no cost involved for ADO participants. Industry members would be able to participate in the training sessions at no cost other than those outlined below, if applicable.

Other Cost
SCI1 members will travel to the location of the lecture. Assistance may be required from the host unit to secure a suitable venue. Industry members may have to travel to the location of a lecture.

Notes

Software Systems Testing (3 day)

(EOI for this course) (Top of page)

Content
The course is specifically targeted at software developers, software testers and QA personnel. It will discuss topics such as Principles of Testing, Testing throughout the Life Cycle, Test-Specification, Dynamic Testing Techniques, Static Testing Techniques, Test Management, Infrastructure and Tool Support for Testing.

Format
Course would be delivered over 3 days at various locations. Training is provided by DR Kelvin Ross from K.J. Ross & Associates.

Timeframe
No set schedule as yet. Lectures to be delivered when requested and/or scheduled with the host unit. More sessions are expected 1^st Quarter 2007.

Participation Cost
There would be no cost involved for uniformed and APS personnel. Industry participants are asked to pay a pro-rata fee (in the past approx $1000.00 per person).

Other Cost
Individual participants are responsible for organising and funding their travel, meals and accommodation

Notes

Software Inspections and Reviews (1 day)

(EOI for this course) (Top of page)

Content
The course combines theory and practical sessions. The course is suitable for anyone involved in creating or using any technical software document: contracts, software requirements specifications, designs, program code; test plans, designs, procedures, data, user and support manuals. Software managers, analysts, programmers, testers and documentation specialists are likely to find inspection and review techniques of use as they are one of the most cost effective methods to reduce defect densities; far more effective than testing.

Format
Course delivered over 1 day at various locations depending on need.

Timeframe
No set schedule as yet. Lectures to be delivered when requested and/or scheduled with the host unit. More sessions are expected 1^st Quarter 2007.

Participation Cost
There is no cost involved for ADO participants. Industry members would be asked to pay approximately $500 per person.

Other Cost
The course provider will travel to the location of the lecture. Some assistance may be required from the hosting unit in securing a suitable venue. Depending on the numbers, it may be necessary to combine personnel from units in the same region; in that case individual participants are responsible for organising and funding their travel, meals and accommodation if applicable.

E³Management for Maintainers
(EOI for this course)
AIM	To graduate technical personnel capable of preventing and managing E³ problems to improve operational availability of ADF aircraft and systems.
Eligibility	ELECTRs, SYSTECHs, SNCO Technicians, flight line personnel employed in aircraft maintenance, and other Service and civilian equivalents.
Content	The course provides theory and practical instruction on E³ management. The theory component is a shortened version of the designer’s course; whereas the practical component provides instruction on the testing and fault-finding of aircraft avionics systems using source/victim matrices, and physical inspections of aircraft to identify possible E³ problems via a Practical case study.

TAR Requirements for Major Projects (1-day)
(EOI for this course) (Top of page)
Content	This one-day course examines the TAR’s core requirements for a major project, to help Project Offices right-size their engineering effort. The course is primarily aimed at engineers involved in the Design Acceptance process for aircraft acquisitions or major changes to type design, although many of the concepts are equally relevant to engineers involved with minor design changes to type design. Courses are conducted as required; historically around 3-4 courses are conducted in Feb-May each year to educate new project office staff, and a single course in the second half of the year. Further information is available from Mr. Mark Wade on (03) 9256 3555.
Format	Course delivered over 1 day at various locations depending on need.
Timeframe	No set schedule. Lectures to be delivered when required and/or scheduled with the host unit.
Participation Cost	There is no cost involved for participants.
Other Cost	The course presenters will travel to the location of the lecture. Some assistance may be required from the hosting unit in securing a suitable venue. Depending on the numbers, it may be necessary to combine personnel from units in the same region; in that case individual participants are responsible for organising and funding their travel, meals and accommodation if applicable.
Point of Contact	Please direct all further queries to Mr. Mark Wade on (03) 9256 3555
