Eaton required full DO-160 qualification for three revised fuel pumps to support aircraft certification, with schedule and compliance risk across multiple test regimes.
KDC acted as an embedded delivery partner, owning qualification planning, documentation and reporting under a fixed-price, task-driven engagement, with customer and OEM test and documentation review and feedback.
This approach provided regulatory assurance, protected the certification schedule and enabled confident progression to manufacturing and in-service support.
