EMC design of an aeronautical system

Goals

The objectives of the training EMC design of an aeronautical system :

Upon completion of this training course, participants will be able to anticipate EMC, lightning, and HIRF constraints in an aircraft in order to consistently integrate electromagnetic protection measures and validate them during the aircraft’s certification cycle.

The purpose of this training is to:
• Understand the aviation certification process
• Gain an overview of the specific characteristics of aviation standards
• Understand coupling phenomena, lightning, and HIRF in an aircraft in order to optimize electromagnetic protection

Session dates:
• from 05/10/2027 to 07/10/2027 - Trappes
