EYAC - AeroMacs Status February 2014 AEROMACS STANDARDS SESAR contributions supports global interoperability and Standardization AeroMACS Profile EUROCAE/ RTCA / WMF PICS, CRSL WMF MOPS RTCA MASPS EUROCAE SARPS ICAO Technical Manual FFF standards AEEC MOPS = Minimum Operational Performance Specification MASPS = Minimum Aviation System Performance Specification CRSL = Certification Requirement Status List PICS = Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement SARPS = Standards and Recommended Practices FFF= Fit, Form & Function

NEXT STEPS – COORDINATION WITH AEEC EYAC - AeroMacs Status February 2014 NEXT STEPS – COORDINATION WITH AEEC AEEC During the last AEEC SAI meeting,  there were five presentations notably covering  the RTCA SC223 status, AeroMACS US activities and FAA deployment planning,  EUROCAE WG82 status and SESAR projects status. These ones were well received and the group, including several Airlines (TAP Portugal, American Airlines, Southwest, UPS, UNITED, FedEx) supported to go forward with the APIM on AeroMacs and to have it presented for approval in the April AEEC General Session. The APIM will propose a 2-steps approach for standardisation of the AeroMACS system at AEEC, with : step 1  to address the overall architecture issues and scope the required standardisation activity step 2 to develop the standard.

Thank you for your attention, EYAC - AeroMacs Status February 2014 Thank you for your attention, SESAR tests results performed in Toulouse area will be available last Q 2014, so probably presented during the next ICAO WG-F meeting .
