Abstract: Operating an airplane involves many complex tasks, but Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) have significantly helped reduce pilot workload and improve performance. EUROCAE published the ED-273 standard in 2021 to guide EFB development, raising concerns among manufacturers about meeting new requirements. RTCA DO-178C, a well-established software standard, offers guidance for developing embedded systems. This paper proposes using existing RTCA DO-178C processes to comply with ED-273 for EFBs. Key contributions include mapping the two standards, developing a compliant approach, and evaluating it with expert input.
