RTCA Committee Activities From its infancy aviation has been, and will remain, a government/industry collaborative enterprise. Since 1935, the government and private sectors of the aviation community have relied upon RTCA, Inc. (formerly known as the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics) to be the premier institutional mechanism for forging government/industry consensus on capabilities, performance standards, policies, and investment strategies to implement air transportation system advances that enhance safety, efficiency, security, and the environment. A private, not-for-profit corporation, RTCA, Inc. serves as catalyst for the change required to make NextGen a reality. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has chartered RTCA and some of its components to serve as a Federal advisory committee. The organization develops consensus-based recommendations on contemporary operational, technology, policy, procedural, and equipage issues, principally related to implementation of Communication, Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) operational capabilities. RTCA provides two categories of recommendations: (1) policy and investment priority recommendations; and (2) performance standards, reports, and guidance documents. RTCA recommendations are used by the FAA as the basis for policy, program, and regulatory decisions and by the private sector as the basis for development, investment, and other business decisions. During 2009, RTCA managed four Federal advisory committee initiatives: • Air Traffic Management Advisory Committee (ATMAC): Policy and investment priority recommendations. • NextGen Mid-Term Implementation Task Force (Task Force 5): NextGen implementation recommendations. • Program Management Committee (PMC): Special Committee establishment, review, integration, coordination, and product approval. • Special Committees (SCs): Performance standards, reports, and guidance documents. All Federal advisory committee meetings are open to the public. Annual participation in RTCA Federal advisory committee meetings is reported to the FAA on a fiscal year (FY) basis. During FY2009, RTCA conducted 69 Federal advisory committee meetings. There were a total 3,031 attendees at these meetings; those attendees included 1,293 distinct individuals from 400 different organizations. RTCA encourages international participation in its activities and is participating in the international aviation standards roundtable being established under the auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Additionally, a number of Special Committees work very closely with the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) to achieve internationally harmonized recommendations on aviation issues. 2009 Annual Report • RTCA 5
