Hi, everybody.

Does anybody know where to find detailed information on RTCA/DO-160C Specifications?
Thanks K.

Pay less and get it from the source:

Once you pay 475$ for the membership, all of their standards are free to download (so they say, I haven't done it myself yet).

You really should be looking at do-160D, this has captured all the req's of version C and improved upon them where required, what are you specifically looking for, I may be able to help

When does DO 160 get used vs. Mil-Std-810?

 

[Stevieb]

It all depends on what enviromental category you are looking at, I would have to check the mil std to see what it actually pertains to.
If you are working on a mil product but have gone down the road of doing do-160 testing which is more commercial, then the military will allow do-160 equivalent so long as you have done the analysis between the two specs. you will find that in most cases mil std's and do-160 are very close, their regs can be a bit tighter when it comes to freq radiation or Vibration.

With regard to D0-160, how does the shock requirement of Sec 7.2.2 and 7.3.2 (6G, 11msec, CRASH 15G, 11msec) stack up against method 516 from Mil-810?
