Bill: Sorry, but I don't have any info about DO-160B.
DO-160D, issued 29 July 1997, is the current version. There is a US Department of Transportation FAA Advisory Circular, AC 21-16D, dated 21 July 1998, which recommends that DO-160D may be used to demonstrate airworthiness requirements. It also says that the preceding Advisory, 21-16C, is superseded by 21-16D. So, I infer, from the FAA's viewpoint, DO-160D has superseded DO-160C. Anybody still using DO-160B must be making some really old stuff. Regards, Ed Ed Price [email protected] Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Systems San Diego, CA.

Gents, I have a couple of questions concerning equipment onboard aircrafts: I was just wondering if the current revision of RTCA-DO-160 is D. Is it possible that manufacturers are still using B. As I do not have the B revision of the standard, does the B revision have a clause that addresses Immunity to Electrostatic Discharge? If so may someone provide me with the required test level? In addition the D revision doesn't define a test setup, is anyone aware of the test setup used by the manufacturers. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
