RTCA Inc. issued RTCA DO-307 - Aircraft Design and Certification for Portable Electronic Device (PED) Tolerance. The document recommends aircraft design and certification criteria to tolerate the operation of PEDs.
These aircraft design and certification recommendations, when implemented in an aircraft design, would reduce the need for restricting the use of PEDs, according to RTCA.
RTCA DO-306 - Safety and Performance Standard for Air Traffic Data Link Services in Oceanic and Remote Airspace (Oceanic SPR Standard) provides the operational, safety and performance requirements (SPR) for the implementation of air traffic data link services in oceanic and remote airspace, referred to as Oceanic SPR Standard.
It is intended to support the implementation of communication, navigation and surveillance/air traffic management (CNS/ATM) systems in worldwide application.
It provides the minimum operational, safety and performance requirements and allocations based on the results of a coordinated requirements determination process, which included operational services and environment information capture, operational safety assessment (OSA) and an operational performance assessment (OPA).
RTCA DO-286B - Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards (MASPS) for Traffic Information Service - Broadcast (TIS-B) was designed to supersede RTCA DO-286A - Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards (MASPS) for Traffic Information Service - Broadcast (TIS-B).
The revision to RTCA DO-286A separates automatic dependent surveillance - rebroadcast (ADS-R) from the TIS-B MASPS. The basic TIS-B services described in RTCA DO-286A remain fundamentally unchanged.
The revision includes changes related to those previously made to RTCA DO-242 - MASPS for Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) and RTCA DO-289 - MASPS for Aircraft Surveillance Applications (ASA). The revision should not impact equipment previously certified using RTCA DO-260A - MOPS for 1090 MHz Extended Squitter (ADS-B) and TIS-B or RTCA DO-286A.
