This week, RTCA, Inc. SC-223 and EUROCAE WG-108 held a joint plenary at RTCA in Washington, DC. The focus was on resolving comments received on the IPS Profiles update to DO-379A/ED-262A. This work is a step forward in enhancing the Internet Protocol Suite standards for aviation, improving safety and efficiency in our systems. The updated document is expected to be published at the end of September. #AviationSafety #AviationTechnology #Innovation #Collaboration #RTCA

RTCA Special Committee Plenaries in August 2024 will bring together experts to advance critical aviation standards.   SC-227 w/WG-85 will meet in person at Collins Aerospace in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on August 22-23 to address comments on key navigation performance standards. Additionally, SC-231 will begin work on their new ToR (see here: https://bit.ly/3Syl6Xu) deliverables at RTCA in Washington, DC, on August 27-28. Other committees, including SC-214, SC-235, and SC-224, will hold their meetings virtually, continuing work on air traffic data communication, non-rechargeable lithium batteries, and airport security access control systems.   Click here to see the full schedule: https://bit.ly/4fqpmlv   #Aviation #RTCA #Standards 

🌎 EUROCAE WG-124 #Spectrum and RTCA, Inc. SC-242 convened this week at RTCA HQ in Washington D.C. to advance the 'Report for Aeronautical Radio Frequency (RF) Systems, their Regulatory Framework, and Operational Considerations'. This report aims to serve as a key reference for non-aerospace spectrum stakeholders, facilitating productive discussions with the aerospace industry and informing Civil Aviation Authorities and International Civil Aviation Organization.   ✈️ Additionally, the group is developing 'Spectrum Guidance for Developers of Standards for Aviation Wireless Systems'. This guidance ensures that the radio frequency (#RF) characteristics of aeronautical Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (#CNS) systems are used efficiently while maintaining safe flight operations. It will help the aviation industry collaborate effectively with non-aviation spectrum users, ensuring the safe integration of new technologies critical to the progress of our industries.   🚀 #EUROCAE WG-124 and #RTCA SC-242 are seeking additional expert participation, notably ground systems expertise, from members to contribute to the creation of the Report and Guidance document.

Planning to attend ICAO AAM 2024? Don't miss this session on Day 2 (Sept 10). The organizations participating on this panel are shaping and leading aviation's future. We look forward to the discussion! #aam #rtca #MaaS #evtol #vertiport
