This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance material on the installation of electronic flight bag (EFB) components including aircraft connectivity provisions.

This AC recognizes EUROCAE ED-80, Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware, dated April 2000, and RTCA DO-254, Design Assurance Guidance for Airborne Electronic Hardware, dated April 19, 2000.

This AC provides you, the applicant, with information and guidance on how you can protect aircraft electrical and electronic systems from the effects of lightning. This AC describes a means, but not the only means, for you to demonstrate compliance with 14 CFR 23.1306 (amendment 23-61), 23.2515, 25.1316, 27.1316, or 29.1316, Electrical and electronic system lightning protection, as they pertain to the type or supplemental type certification of your aircraft.

This advisory circular (AC) identifies RTCA, Inc., document DO-307A, Aircraft Design and Certification for Portable Electronic Device (PED) Tolerance, dated December 15, 2016, as an acceptable means for designing and demonstrating aircraft toleranceto potential electromagnetic interference from portable electronic devices (PEDs).

This AC provides guidance for a new type certificate (TC) or a change to an existing TC when the certification basis requires you to address the HIRF certification requirements of §§ 23.1308 (Amendment 23-57), 23.2520 (Amendment 23-65), 25.1317, 27.1317, or § 29.1317.

If you are planning to use an electronic data storage system as your means of retention for your type design data, we recommend you follow the guidance outlined in AC 21-48, Using Electronic Modeling Systems as Primary Type Design Data.

Provides revised guidelines on the marking of aircraft powerplant instruments and electronic displays (cathode ray tubes, etc.). These guidelines offer acceptable, but not exclusive, methods of compliance with the powerplant instrument color marking requirements.

An assessment plan documents the controlled, repeatable processes for assessing the reliability of aircraft and engine electronic and electrical systems, including their electromechanical elements and equipment.

This advisory circular (AC) shows you how to gain a type certificate (TC), supplemental TC (STC), amended TC (ATC), amended supplemental TC (ASTC), or technical standard order (TSO) authorization for systems incorporating the presentation of geometric altitude relative to mean sea level (MSL) on electronic displays. b. This AC is not mandatory and does not constitute a regulation.

This advisory circular (AC) describes an acceptable means for showing compliance with the applicable airworthiness regulations for the management of open problem reports (OPRs) in technical standard order (TSO) authorization and type certification for the system, software, and airborne electronic hardware (AEH) domains.This document contains guidance that is not legally binding in its own right nor will be relied upon by the Department of Transportation or the Federal Aviation Administrationas a separate basis for affirmative enforcement action or other administrative penalty.

ASNRT equipment is intended to provide flight crews with voice and data communication service over non aeronautical frequency bands. ASNRT consists of electronic onboard equipment which is not required for any phase of operation nor intended for Minimum Equipment List (MEL) dispatch relief.
