RTCA DO-193
RTCA Document 193, User Requirements for Future Communications, Navigation and Surveillance Systems, including Space Technology Applications, issued 09/86. This document reports on the operational requirements for communications, navigation and surveillance services likely to be required in the 2010 timeframe as foreseen by airspace users, investigates new concepts and technology, including satellites, which may have applications in a future airspace management system. Institutional, economic and transitional issues are assessed from the United States and worldwide perspectives.
RTCA DO-194
RTCA Document 194, Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Airborne Area Navigation Equipment Using LORAN-C Inputs, Issued 11/86 (TSO C60b). This document sets forth operational goals and applications, and recommends standards and test procedures for airborne area navigation equipment (2D and 3D) using Loran-C inputs. Includes test conditions and procedures for installed Loran-C receiving equipment and operational characteristics with test procedures. Co-ordinated with EUROCAE.
RTCA DO-197A
RTCA Document 197, Minimum Operational Performance Standards for an Active Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System 1 (Active TCAS 1), Issued 9/94 (TSO C118). This document sets forth minimum operational standards for an Active Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (Active TCAS 1) to provide the Proximity Warning Indicator (PM) function on aircraft with up to 30 passenger seats as required by the Federal Aviation Administration's TCAS Rule.
RTCA DO-198
RTCA Document 198, Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Airborne MLS Area Navigation Equipment, Issued 03/88. This document sets forth operational goals and applications, and recommends standards and test procedures for airborne microwave landing system area navigation (MLS RNAV) equipment. MLS RNAV equipment uses MLS information from an MLS angle receiver and a DME/P interrogator to compute a position estimate and to provide guidance information for an aircraft that is operating in a terminal area serviced by an MLS ground site. MLS RNAV will permit a wide spectrum of manoeuvres to be performed that can consist of straight-line and/or curved segments. Includes test conditions and procedures for installed equipment performance and operational characteristics with test procedures. Co-ordinated with EUROCAE.
RTCA DO-199
RTCA Document 199, Potential Interference to Aircraft Electronic Equipment from Devices Carried Aboard, Issued 9/88. This document reports on the investigation to determine potential interference effects to aircraft electronic systems due to emissions from self-powered portable electronic and electrical devices operated aboard aircraft. Recommends regulatory actions related to operation and identification of passenger-operated devices to assure control of possible sources of interference, and recommends standardised procedures for reporting suspected interference. Volume I is the basic report and includes background, data collection, data analysis, conclusions and recommendations. Volume II provides amplification or background material for some of the summary data included in the basic report.
