EASA AMC 20-138 Integrated Avionics GPS Validation Testing
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) Advisory Material Circular (AMC) 20-138 provides the necessary validation requirements for integrated avionics systems, including Global Positioning System (GPS) components. This service focuses on ensuring compliance with AMC 20-138 to validate GPS functionalities within complex avionics systems used in commercial aviation and general aviation applications.
The testing process involves a series of rigorous checks that ensure the GPS system performs reliably under various operational conditions, such as altitude changes, temperature variations, and signal interference. This service is essential for aerospace manufacturers aiming to meet EASA standards and gain certification necessary for market entry.
Our laboratory employs advanced test equipment including specialized GPS simulators, environmental chambers capable of replicating real-world flight conditions, and data acquisition systems that can capture comprehensive performance metrics. The testing process typically involves multiple phases:
- Initial Setup: Calibration of the GPS system under controlled conditions.
- Environmental Stress Testing: Exposure to temperature extremes, humidity, and vibration.
- Signal Performance Validation: Evaluation of signal strength, accuracy, and integrity in different environments.
- Data Analysis: Comprehensive analysis of collected data to ensure adherence to EASA AMC 20-138 standards.
The results from this testing are crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of avionics systems. Compliance with AMC 20-138 is not just about meeting regulatory requirements; it ensures that aircraft can operate safely under a wide range of conditions, enhancing flight safety and reducing the risk of system failures.
Our service offers more than just compliance testing. By partnering with us, clients gain access to cutting-edge technology and expert knowledge in aerospace avionics validation. This allows for early identification of potential issues and the implementation of improvements before certification is sought, saving time and resources in the long run.
