Irvine, California, -- Pacific Power Sourceis pleased to announce the release of a comprehensive suite of test routines specifically designed to test AC products for compliance with Section 16 of RTCA/DO160, “Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment”. The DO160 test standard is published by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA), a private, not-for-profit Corporation that develops consensus based recommendations regarding communications, navigations and air traffic management for commercial aviation. Its recommendations are used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and private industry alike.
