“We’re looking forward to bringing the industry and regulators together for this two-day event to discuss considerations in software standards development”, says Terry McVenes, President and CEO of RTCA, Inc. “The event creates an opportunity to hear directly from and collaborate with experts and professionals from around the world in software to ensure our standards development efforts continually evolve to represent the industry’s needs.”

“Software standards are fundamental, well harmonised and therefore an integral part of the certification process. Our ED-12, DO-178 and the equal standards for ground systems, are known and applied all over the world. This Software Summit will help us to keep those standards on the forefront of aviation, up to date, future proof and an essential contribution to safety in aviation.” stated Christian Schleifer, Secretary General of EUROCAE. “Having worked for many years in Avionics certification, I have a particular interest in this event and look forward to learning more on the latest developments in software certification”.
