AFuzion Adds New Advanced Software Safety Training for DO-178C

AFuzion Incorporated, the world's largest aviation safety certification company, has added a new Advanced Avionics Software DO-178C Training Class. DO-178 is the eponymous "guideline" for aircraft software used worldwide for civil and military aircraft. First published in 1980, it has been updated to DO-178A, then DO-178B, and now DO-178C. AFuzion's training has historically covered DO-178, DO-178B, and DO-178C. FAA Certification is required for almost all commercial aircraft software and AFuzion's new Advanced DO-178C Training fills this growing need.
