The cover page is ISO 7137 if that's any help. Basically, RTCA/DO-160 is about 1 inch thick of graphs, charts, requirements, test setups, etc for equipment that goes airborne. Most of what I saw was electrical, but I'm sure there's environmental in there, too. - Robert - AJM Electronics 408 286 3985 619 North First St fax 408 297 9121 San Jose, CA 95112 m...@california.com -----Original Message----- From: duncan.ho...@snellwilcox.com <duncan.ho...@snellwilcox.com> To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org <emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org> List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 8:49 AM Subject: EMC and Safety of equipment used in aircraft > >Group, > What safety and EMC standards would I have to consider for a piece of >equipment initially intended for use in a TV studio, but that is requested to be >able to be used in a helecopter or plane?
