The main instructor of the training is Dr Ismail Cicek. He gained engineering and leadership experience by working for 15 years. He led the development of various platform engineering systems, including C-5, C-17, KC-10, KC-135, and C-130 E/H/J.  Dr. Cicek’s experience includes unmanned aerial vehicle development where he utilized the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Malfunction Data Recorder Analysis Recorder System (MADARS) development for military transport aircraft. An Avionics Chief Engineer (EE)and a Certified Verification Engineer (FAA/EASA) also assist with the training. Our experienced test personnel also become available for demonstrations and discussions. A Certified Verification Engineer (CVE) in FAA/EASA with 18 years of experience. He has worked as the chief engineer of avionics systems in product development. He is also experienced in product testing per environmental and EMI/EMC standards and FAA/EASA certification processes.

Relation with RTCA-DO-160G

  • Training will compare MIL-STD-810H tests against the FAA/EASA certification test requirements covered in RTCA-DO-160. This helps a better understanding of the tailoring concepts in MIL-810H.
  • For example, Fire Flammability will be covered in detail in this training.
  • Differences in some test procedures, for example, Altitude, Temperature, Water Proofness / Rain / Immersion, Humidity, Contamination by Fluids, Vibrations, Shock and Crash Accelerations, Icing Freezing, and Salt Fog, will be explained with rationale.
  • Demonstrating the differences between DO160 and 810 is a great way of understanding the tailoring process iaw MIL-STD-810H.

Dr Cicek worked as the Principle Investigator and became a Subject Matter Expert (SME) at the US Air Force Aeromedical Test Lab (WPAFB/OH) for certifying the products to the US Air Force Platform Requirements. He also developed Joint Enroute Care Equipment Test Standard (JECETS) in close work with US Army Test Lab engineers and managers.
