In a context of increasingly complex aerospace programmes and strict compliance requirements, Certification & Regulations activities play a vital role in bringing safe, airworthy and regulation-compliant systems to market.
At Airbus Protect, we support our customers across aircraft, helicopters, space, ATM, and defence domains—in navigating the certification landscape, aligning with regulatory frameworks, and ensuring conformity through the development lifecycle.
Our mission: enhancing safety and optimising performance while streamlining compliance.
At Airbus Protect, we combine regulatory expertise, certification experience, and cross-domain engineering insight to support your Certification & Regulations objectives from concept to compliance.
Our teams work hand-in-hand with your Design Office to define certification strategies, interface with authorities, and demonstrate conformity to evolving standards. With delegated CVEs, regulatory specialists, and design assurance experts on board, we help you navigate complex requirements with confidence—whether in civil aviation, space, ATM, or defence.
Activities include:
We ensure systems are developed in compliance with safety-critical standards, providing confidence to both certification authorities and stakeholders, through warranting lifecycle documentation aligned with DO-178, DO-254, ARP4754, DO-160, DO-278, etc. Provided activities are:
We support safe system development throughout the V-cycle by applying best practices like ARP4754 and ARP4761 to anticipate and mitigate risks. This covers safety plans, dedicated to customers’ processes, safety analysis tailored to aircraft (aircraft/system/equipment levels) or helicopters, such as FHA, PSSA, SSA, FMEA/FMES, MMEL, CCA, PRA, and dependability assessments aligned with space authority regulations.

Aviation is known for its precision, and precision in terminology is crucial, especially when it comes to safety. Two terms that often cause confusion are continuing and continued airworthiness. At first glance, they seem almost interchangeable. However, in regulatory and operational contexts, the two terms refer to different and distinct processes for aviation. Understanding the [...]
