Susceptibility Lab

The Susceptibility Test Lab opened in May 2007. Equipped with the latest technology, the lab is capable of providing DO-160 certification for the following sections:

  • Section 15: Magnetic Effects
    Ensures aircraft equipment can operate properly within the magnetic field of another aircraft system or equipment.
  • Section 16: Power Input
    Performs various tests that could be susceptibility causes to the AC or DC power inputs to aircraft systems or equipment.
  • Section 17: Voltage Spike
    Determines whether the aircraft systems or equipment can withstand the effects of voltage spikes arriving at the equipment power leads.
  • Section 18: Audio Frequency Conducted Susceptibility
    Determines whether the equipment will accept frequency components of a magnitude normally expected when the equipment is installed in the aircraft.
  • Section 19: Induced Signal Susceptibility
    Determines whether the equipment interconnect circuit configurations will accept a level of induced voltages caused by the installation environment.
  • Section 25: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
    Determines the immunity or the ability of the equipment to perform its intended function without permanent degradation of performance as a result of an air-discharged electrostatic pulse.
