RTCA Paper Number 087-12/SC-<strong>217</strong>-033April 27, 2012Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eleventh <strong>meeting</strong> RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong>/WG-44 in Brussels, Belgium 42.3 Activity report from <strong>the</strong> Sub-Groups2.3.1 Data Quality (non-numeric), Applications, Content,Connectivity, Temporality and Data Quality (numeric).These sub-groups are currently not active, pending ToR updates.2.3.2 Britta Eilmus: GuidanceIt was noted that a “Guidance Document” is within <strong>the</strong> Terms <strong>of</strong> Reference for EurocaeWG-44 but not for RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong>. Britta reported that a document based on DO-272B/ED-99B and DO-291A/ED-119A is very near completion and could be ready forreview at <strong>the</strong> June 2012 Meeting. Work has not begun to update this to <strong>the</strong> currentversions. As this is not an RTCA document, <strong>the</strong> review process will follow Eurocaeguidelines.It was noted that Eurocontrol did much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> original work on <strong>the</strong> Guidance MaterialDocument and has expressed <strong>the</strong> need for this document to be made available to <strong>the</strong>user community at no-charge. Nei<strong>the</strong>r RTCA nor Eurocae has a mechanism for nochargedocuments, although it is possible to have a “Report” issued by Eurocae (withoutcharge) provided <strong>the</strong> document does not include requirements or has been selected foran “ED” status.Decision was to fur<strong>the</strong>r discuss <strong>the</strong> publication options with Eurocontrol and Eurocaeand agree on a course <strong>of</strong> action.2.4 Allan Hart: Status <strong>of</strong> Terrain and Obstacle(Presentation and Draft Documents to be made available on <strong>the</strong> RTCA Workspace)The group held monthly telecons to work on <strong>the</strong> open action issues.Allan present draft version 9 <strong>of</strong> DO-276/ED-98. This version had been circulated within<strong>the</strong> <strong>committee</strong> and a significant comment document was received from Tim Roe (not inattendance). Allan had previously incorporated any comments that were editorial innature. Allan walked <strong>the</strong> group thru <strong>the</strong> remaining comments. Not all comments weresufficiently understood or resolvable without fur<strong>the</strong>r conversation with Tim and Allanindicated he would set up a telecom for April 16 th for that work.The group spent considerable time on paragraph 3.3.10 “Height” in <strong>the</strong> document.Discussions included “how many points in a line obstacle” and was <strong>the</strong>re a requirementfor both a maximum (included) and a minimum(not included) height value. Allan willwork towards resolution within his sub-group.O<strong>the</strong>r important discussion items included: deciding on a “name” for Area 2 as ICAOAnnex 15 uses a “sentence” to describe <strong>the</strong> area but no simple name; reviewing <strong>the</strong>numerical requirements in Section Four; reviewing <strong>the</strong> attributes for lighting and marking<strong>of</strong> obstacles and how that relates to similar attributes for Vertical Polygons in DO-272;discussion on <strong>the</strong> title for Section Six; acronym list clean-up and a qualified review <strong>of</strong>Appendix “C”.


RTCA Paper Number 087-12/SC-<strong>217</strong>-033April 27, 2012Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eleventh <strong>meeting</strong> RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong>/WG-44 in Brussels, Belgium 5A number <strong>of</strong> items that were beyond “<strong>committee</strong> editing time available” weredocumented as Action Items for Allan and <strong>the</strong> sub-group to review and resolve (SeeAction Item List).The time line for <strong>the</strong> document leading up to FRAC resolution during <strong>the</strong> June 2012 wasdiscussed:- FRAC Version <strong>of</strong> Document to RTCA no later than April 25 th , 2012.- Close <strong>of</strong> comment period will be May 25 th , 2012- Allan to be focal point for comments, copy to <strong>the</strong> co-chairs- Allan requests that anyone provide comments o<strong>the</strong>r than editorial ensure <strong>the</strong>yare at (or represented at) <strong>the</strong> June FRAC Resolution Meeting at RTCAHeadquarters.- Ensure (with RTCA) that both PDF and Word Documents are available forreview.- Ensure with RTCA that <strong>the</strong>y can provide <strong>the</strong> line numbered version forcomment.It was noted that as <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>meeting</strong> time, <strong>the</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> re-use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ICAO Annex 15illustrations for <strong>the</strong> Areas 2 through 4 had not been received but was being worked byRTCA. The chair noted that <strong>the</strong> illustrations were required and would have to beincluded.Ano<strong>the</strong>r open topic is that Vertical Structures in AMDB may be identical with points in <strong>the</strong>Terrain and Obstacles database. While <strong>the</strong> <strong>committee</strong> has work to do make sure that<strong>the</strong> data structures are compatible, vendors will have to address <strong>the</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> samedata captured twice.


RTCA Paper Number 087-12/SC-<strong>217</strong>-033April 27, 2012Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eleventh <strong>meeting</strong> RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong>/WG-44 in Brussels, Belgium 62.5 RTCA Policy Regarding Electronic Plenary, MeetingLocations and Travel Restrictions.2.5.1 Various RTCA <strong>committee</strong> member questioned whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>re had been anyprogress made within RTCA with regard to conducting Plenary Sessions usingcommunications technologies ra<strong>the</strong>r than physical presence. Also questioned inthis discussion was <strong>the</strong> perception that <strong>the</strong> RTCA PMC seemed to be morefocused on FAA input ra<strong>the</strong>r than industry input and whe<strong>the</strong>r this was in line with<strong>the</strong> expectation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> participants. Each member <strong>of</strong> RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong> hasvolunteered time and resources with <strong>the</strong> understanding that <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>committee</strong>s is more focused on providing industry with <strong>the</strong> documentation andguidance necessary to meet <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> end user and less on <strong>meeting</strong> <strong>the</strong>regulatory needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FAA. Lack <strong>of</strong> industry drivers makes travel that muchmore difficult to justify and <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> communications technologies that muchmore important. There was no fur<strong>the</strong>r information available on ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>setopics.2.6 Eurocae and ED-76/ED-772.6.1 Stephane Dubet, Eurocae co-chair briefed <strong>the</strong> group on <strong>the</strong> activities withinEurocae with regard to updating ED-76 and ED-77 (DO-200 and DO-201). It wasnoted that while <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial status is still <strong>the</strong> same as briefed in December during<strong>the</strong> Phoenix <strong>meeting</strong> (ED-76 part <strong>of</strong> WG-44 ToRs, ED-77 under review) moreconsensus regard to <strong>the</strong> needs was being realized. The two co-chairs will be<strong>meeting</strong> with Eurocontrol later in <strong>the</strong> week on this subject and its relation to ADQ1 and 2. The ADQ process are basically “top-down” where as <strong>the</strong> approach toupdating <strong>the</strong> underlying documents would be “bottom-up”; which is considered<strong>the</strong> preferred method voiced by <strong>the</strong> industry.2.6.2 Gary Livack asked for and Stephane detailed <strong>the</strong> differences between ADQ-1and ADQ-2 for better understanding. ADQ-1 processes stop with <strong>the</strong> Statespublication responsibilities (ANSPs). ADQ-2 starts at that point on continuesthrough to <strong>the</strong> end user. It was pointed out that <strong>the</strong> current ED-76/77 and DO-200/201 language with regard to <strong>the</strong> “last mile”, getting any kind <strong>of</strong> aeronauticallyrequired data loaded for use on <strong>the</strong> flight deck is lacking in detail and one areathat truly needs to be addressed in any potential updates. Allan Hart (co-chair <strong>of</strong>RTCA SC-206 in addition to his membership in SC-<strong>217</strong>) talked about <strong>the</strong> globalconcepts <strong>of</strong> Data Quality for all data this is intend for use on <strong>the</strong> flight deck and<strong>the</strong> concepts that <strong>the</strong> current “by data type” implementations need to betterapproach.2.6.3 The wrap-up <strong>of</strong> this discussion confirmed <strong>the</strong> groups position on <strong>the</strong> needs forupdating DO-200A and its impact on <strong>the</strong> tasks related to <strong>the</strong> RTCA ISRA issuedto SC-<strong>217</strong> by SC-206 (see item2.7 below), <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> getting <strong>the</strong>message to <strong>the</strong> FAA PMC membership and <strong>the</strong> need for getting ToR drafts (withand without DO-200/DO-201A) in front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PMC at <strong>the</strong>ir June <strong>meeting</strong>.2.7 RTCA SC-206 Issues ISRA to RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong>


RTCA Paper Number 087-12/SC-<strong>217</strong>-033April 27, 2012Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eleventh <strong>meeting</strong> RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong>/WG-44 in Brussels, Belgium 72.7.1 RTCA SC-206 (Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) and Meteorology(MET) Data Link Services) has issued an Inter-Special CommitteeRequirements Agreement (ISRA) to RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong> – a request to provide inputon Data Quality Requirements for all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> types <strong>of</strong> data that SC-206 isconsidering. Allan Hart, co-chair <strong>of</strong> RTCA SC-206 reviewed for <strong>the</strong> group <strong>the</strong>purpose and intent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> issuing <strong>the</strong> ISRA. The ISRA is in <strong>the</strong> format <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>required form and a spread sheet that lists areas <strong>of</strong> data and attributes <strong>of</strong> thoseareas. John Kasten asked whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>re was a time line associated with <strong>the</strong>response to <strong>the</strong> ISRA as it appears that considerable effort will be required torespond. Allan indicated no specific time line had been established. Johninformed <strong>the</strong> group that he would take a first stab at addressing <strong>the</strong> spread sheetto get a better idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> processes to be used and <strong>the</strong> areas <strong>of</strong> expertiserequired to complete <strong>the</strong> response.2.7.2 Gary Livack pointed out two areas <strong>of</strong> particular concern that he is hearing in <strong>the</strong>various industry <strong>meeting</strong>s that he attends, namely wea<strong>the</strong>r and <strong>the</strong> underlyinggeopolitical “polygons” that would be required to support current methods <strong>of</strong>severe wea<strong>the</strong>r announcements. Gary also pointed out <strong>the</strong> significantrequirements to support NOTAMs. Gary took an action item to provide <strong>the</strong> groupwith samples <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kind <strong>of</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r and NOTAM data that were providing <strong>the</strong>background to his questions. John noted that <strong>the</strong>se items will be addressed in<strong>the</strong> response to <strong>the</strong> ISRA as far as <strong>the</strong>y are part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> request.2.7.3 Gary Livack questioned whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong> group felt that <strong>the</strong> current ASRNprovisions were sufficient to support voice – activated applications. While this isnot part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> SC-206 work, Gary felt <strong>the</strong> needs should be investigated in amanner similar to <strong>the</strong> work planned for <strong>the</strong> ISRA review.3 ASRN Verification and Validation Document3.1 V & V Document Road Map/Action Item List3.1.1 The group reviewed <strong>the</strong> road map/action item list for <strong>the</strong> draft document andnoted that many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> assignments made have not yet been completed. As <strong>the</strong>majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> assignment were to group members who were not able to be at<strong>the</strong> Brussels <strong>meeting</strong>, not much time was time was spent on this listing.3.1.2 Mike Burski was at <strong>the</strong> <strong>meeting</strong> and presented his paper on <strong>the</strong> ATC Operationsaspects that needed to be addressed in <strong>the</strong> document. Mike noted that <strong>the</strong> inpu<strong>the</strong> was providing was not yet ready for incorporating into <strong>the</strong> draft document andwas being provided as a first time. As <strong>the</strong> discussions evolved, <strong>the</strong> group wasable to incorporate most <strong>of</strong> what Mike had written in <strong>the</strong> correct portions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>document with a complete review. The reminder <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> paper was added to <strong>the</strong>draft in a “still to be reviewed” state.3.1.3 Gary Livack suggested that it might be appropriate to create a “mini-conuse”section for <strong>the</strong> document. Stephane Dubet agreed that such wording is important


RTCA Paper Number 087-12/SC-<strong>217</strong>-033April 27, 2012Summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eleventh <strong>meeting</strong> RTCA SC-<strong>217</strong>/WG-44 in Brussels, Belgium 8but questioned whe<strong>the</strong>r or not it should be included in DO-272/ED-98 instead <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> V & V Document. Beby Rakotoarindriaka indicated that she sees a problemwith this as it goes beyond requirements and into <strong>the</strong> applications. Her pointswere well understood and a decision to solicit fur<strong>the</strong>r input from Brian Gilbert <strong>of</strong>Boeing (not present) as to his thoughts in <strong>the</strong> subject. After some discussion, itwas agreed to add an operational concepts portion to <strong>the</strong> draft document and tokeep open <strong>the</strong> matter <strong>of</strong> updating DO-272 for future consideration and action.3.2 V & V Draft Document3.2.1 The group reviewed <strong>the</strong> current version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft document and agreed thatwith that and <strong>the</strong> input from Mike, progress could be made on writing SectionOne. The result is <strong>the</strong>re Section One (Introduction and Scope) has reached <strong>the</strong>“mature draft” status.3.2.2 Much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> paper from Mike Burski was used to create <strong>the</strong> new OperationalConcepts portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> document. It was noted, however, that more groupreview <strong>of</strong> this portion would be required.3.2.3 The o<strong>the</strong>r portions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> document were reviewed during <strong>the</strong> work on SectionOne and <strong>the</strong> appropriate changes in positioning <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> content weremade.3.3 Next Steps3.3.1 The Road Map/Action Item listing was updated and Beby Rakotoarindriaka wasappointed to be <strong>the</strong> focal <strong>of</strong> ensuring that <strong>the</strong> required inputs would be availablefor draft work and ready for review at <strong>the</strong> June and subsequent <strong>meeting</strong>s.4 Closing plenary session4.1 Next <strong>meeting</strong>sDue to conflicts, <strong>the</strong> group discussed options to reschedule <strong>the</strong> next <strong>meeting</strong>. Theoriginal dates from September 10 (Mo.) to September 14 (Fr.) turned out to be <strong>the</strong> bestcompromise but <strong>the</strong> location had to be changed. It was agreed that a full week <strong>meeting</strong>will be required to get <strong>the</strong> V & V Document ready for FRAC. This September <strong>meeting</strong>will be held in Europe at a location to be determined.Long-term <strong>meeting</strong> schedule:• June 18 – 22*, 2012, US (RTCA HQ. Washington D.C.)
