Hi,
I'm trying to work out what the options are for using a modular system onboard an aircraft.
For example consider the case if I designed a navigation system that was modular and could be reconfigured by adding or removing internal electronics boards.
If I went for European Technical Standard Order (ETSO) authorisation (Subpart O of EASA Part 21) for a particular configuration then would I need to reapply for an ETSOA for each variant or can I get an ETSO approval that covers all the possible different variants (i.e. it covers all the options that I can include)?
For an ETSO then I need production approval under Subpart G or F and/or design approval. If I want to repair the units then what do I need?
When the part is to be installed on an aircraft then I will need to get a DOA company to get me an STC? Do I need an ETSO authorisation first or can I just go straight to the STC process?
Sorry I guess my questions can be summarised.......
I have a system that is modular and can be tailored to each aircraft model.
What do I need to be able to get this approved for aircraft use? What do I need for design/production/repair?
