RE: Application of equipment in U.S. aircraft
David: DO-160D, which has superseded the "C" version, is the spec you need to use. It's a complicated document, with over a dozen specific test methods. Fortunately, not all of the test methods are always required. As for recommending a test lab, one lab does come to mind rather easily. Send me an email off-list, and CDS will be happy to quote you on performing the applicable methods of DO-160D!

Re: Application of equipment in U.S. aircraft
Dan There is a long list of FAA requirements for equipment and components used within aircraft. It been a few years since I looked into this subject and I no longer have a soft copy of the documents or the URL on the FAA web site where it is located. From what I remember engine components are most definitely on the list and it the equipment manufacture who has to apply for the FAA certification / approval. Unfortunately also from what I remember it was quite a chore to find the relevant FAA document, but it covers every thing from approval process, requirements and times which fall under the scope. At the end of the day our product never got past the bid stage, so I had no reason to keep the info. Hope this helps.

RE: Application of equipment in U.S. aircraft
Dan, You should start with RTCA D0-160D for applicable EMC, Lightning, ESD and other requirements.
