16. Standards Validation Report Preliminary conclusion
WG78-SC214 P12 - VSG Input Briefing
Apr 2011
Standards Validation Report Preliminary conclusion
Validation coverage of Operational Validation Objective is expected to be
Partial for ACM, ACL, D-OTIS
Late, i.e. unlikely to happen before end 2011, for D-TAXI
Satisfactory for air-ground 4DTRAD (for end 2013) but no evidence that advanced ground-ground coordination will be validated at all
Validation coverage of Technical Validation Objectives for ATN is expected to be satisfactory, except for most of evolutions done on top of v0.H
Validation coverage of Technical Validation Objectives for FANS1/A is expected to be satisfactory (even though gap for seamless transition are identified on the ground)
Validation coverage of Validation Objectives for L2K BC is expected to be partial (operational acceptability for pilots & controllers unlikely to be validated in due time)
Validation of Performance Requirements is likely to be Poor due to late definition of requirements.
