The weakness of commercial practice with DO-178B is the lack of consistent,
comprehensive training of the FAA engineers/DERs/foreign agencies affecti
ng:
- the effectiveness of the individual(s) making findings; and,
- the consistency of the interpretations in the findings.
Training programs may be the answer for both the military and commercial
environments to avoid the problem of inconsistent interpretation and the results
of
literal interpretation.
