Taking a new cabin-pressure control system from specification to verification readiness — for the MA-700 commercial aircraft
Project details
Customer: Nord-Micro GmbH & Co. KG
Branch: Aviation
Period: 09/2017 – 05/2020
The challenge
My customer was developing a cabin-pressure control system for the MA-700 commercial aircraft.
The project required system-level engineering capable of meeting ARP4754A expectations, while at the same time preparing a successor systems engineer who could independently carry the work forward.
Cooperation
In accordance with ARP4754A, I developed the required technical specifications, designed the system architecture and functional behaviour, planned the verification activities and resolved the engineering issues that emerged throughout development.
In parallel, I trained the incoming systems engineer in both the technical system and the development processes behind it, ensuring continuity beyond my involvement.
What we have achieved
Project results
Validated system design
The system of my client had reached the necessary level of development to successfully complete the Critical Design Review to the satisfaction of the aircraft manufacturer.
Ready for verification testing
The test systems were configured and validated so that my client could start the component and system tests of the prototype for testing in a test aircraft.
New staff ready to go
At the end of our collaboration, a new systems engineer had been familiarized with the system and specific processes, enabling my client to once again achieve their goals independently.
