Avionics Testing
The RockAIR was designed with input from a key reseller in the aviation sector, who also arranged for the DO-160 compliance testing to be carried out on the finished product.
While the RockAIR has successfully passed the listed DO-160 environmental and EMC tests, the official test report is held under the reseller’s name and is not available for external distribution.
If you require confirmation of test status for integration or certification purposes, please contact Ground Control Support for guidance.
The RockAIR has been thoroughly tested according to RTCA/DO-160 F & G standards, ensuring its safety, reliability, and compatibility under various environmental conditions and with other onboard systems.
