David: DO-160D, which has superseded the "C" version, is the spec you need to use. It's a complicated document, with over a dozen specific test methods. Fortunately, not all of the test methods are always required.
As for recommending a test lab, one lab does come to mind rather easily. Send me an email off-list, and CDS will be happy to quote you on performing the applicable methods of DO-160D!

I think that the FAA also has a flock of interface standards that might have some relevance. Ed Ed Price [email protected] Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Systems San Diego, CA.

We have never had our equipment used on aircraft before (to our knowledge) thus don't know if there are any regulatory issues we need to concern ourselves with. The application is for use in the U.S., at least initially. Our equipment presently complies with the EMC Directive for ISM and is UL approved for Hazardous Locations. It would stand to reason there would be additional requirements for any application involving aircraft but we don't know if this might be an issue between the installer and the FAA or an issue for us to be concerned and involved with. My request might be a little off topic for this group, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
