Try DO-160, it will give you a good idea. Most of the aircraft
manufacturers have their own standards as well (much like the auto
industry). Virtually all aircraft nowadays "fly by wire" (computer
controlled). Except for small aircraft, no one uses direct manual controls
anymore. If you are not sure where it will be mounted in the aircraft, then
assume that it will be in the cockpit. This should be worst case.

ITE in Aircraft Racks

Please respond to
"Monsen, Monrad L"
Are there any special tests required or recommended before installing
19-inch rack form-factor Information Technology Equipment (ITE) in an
aircraft's rack?
Our sales organization wants to sell some information storage equipment
(47CFR15 and EN55022 Class A) to a customer who desires to install our
equipment in a 19-inch rack within their aircraft. I don't know of any
extra emissions limit standards, but I have heard that aircraft
manufacturers do test their systems to higher radiated immunity standards
since many of the planes now "fly by wire". In addition, I would be
concerned about the shock, vibration, tilt, and temperature/humidity
ramifications. Hopefully the equipment would be mounted and operated in a
portion of the aircraft that is pressure and climate controlled as opposed
to the uncontrolled cargo hold.
Does anyone have some mandatory or recommended test standards for these
ElectroMagnetic Compatibility, Safety, and Environmental concerns?
Thanks.
