When developing mobile applications connected to avionics there will be a bi-directional flow of information between both devices: Figure 1: Bi-directional information flow in an mobile application to a (avionics) Flight Management Computer (FMC). Mobile apps connected to avionicsįirst things first. The criticality levels go from A (Catastrophic) to E (No effect).įor instance, the Aircraft’s FADEC (or Full Authority Digital Engine Control ), is Level A. Avionics requires safety software development depending on its criticality levels assessed by the industrial standards ARP4754A and ARP4761. An example is the flight management system (FMS), which defines the flight route and automatically performs most of the course, distance, time and fuel calculations. Per the Federal Aviation Administration Handbook, it is a system that can automatically perform many tasks that pilots used to have to perform manullay. Hello World, this is the first of a series of three articles explaining how to test a secure and safe app connected to avionics.
