Welcome & Introductions
ChairChris Hegarty, MITRE
Anti-Trust Policy
• RTCA meetings are conducted in strict compliance with US antitrust laws. Meetings shall not consider, or be used to discuss, agreements on prices, including terms of sale or credit, production plans, marketing strategies or customer potential, or any other element of competition between participants.
• RTCA staff will suspend any discussion that relates to such matters and the Meeting will proceed only after appropriate limitation of such discussions has been advised and agreed.
• RTCA develops comprehensive, industry-vetted and endorsed recommendations for the regulatory authorities and the aviation community on issues ranging from technical performance standards to operational concepts for air transportation. Supporting this hallmark of RTCA foundational goals to procure consensus for recommended performance standards, the preferred and highly endorsed method for producing RTCA documents is to do so without reference to proprietary information. Although this type of reference in an RTCA document is not prohibited per se, it is limited to those circumstances where the objective of the document cannot reasonably be attained without the reference(s). Before incorporation into an RTCA document, three tests must be met:
1) A bona fide, public interest basis for the reference and/or usage 2) Evidence that private pecuniary interests have not driven any decision to either include or exclude a system from the market 3) A commitment to license the relevant technology, patent, patent pending, or copyrighted material by completing a Commitment to License (CtL)
• Early in the development of an RTCA document, if proprietary information is identified as relevant, the participant or the proponent must disclose to the SC leadership and/or Work Group (WG) leadership that they are personally aware that proprietary information is proposed and/or required for compliance with the RTCA document being developed.
• The content of an RTCA published document is considered RTCA proprietary information. Individuals can request to reference this information by receiving approval from RTCA President. By providing material to the RTCA document, the providing party grants RTCA the nonexclusive, paid-up, worldwide perpetual license
• Participation in a meeting (including participation via conference telephone or via web cast or similar remote means) shall be deemed to authorize the meeting secretary to record that this proprietary policy has been communicated and accepted.
Proprietary Policy
• To participate on RTCA Committees, an individual’s organization isrequired to be a member of RTCA. Individuals from non-memberorganizations may apply for membership on a committee, and ifaccepted, will be required to become an RTCA member.
• Individuals from Non-RTCA member organizations may attendCommittee Plenary meetings that are announced on the web.Non-member attendees have the option of requesting permissionto be recognized to speak during the plenary meeting. Meetingsummaries and related information from previous plenarymeetings will be available to the public via RTCA’s website.Documents undergoing final review can be obtained by contactingRTCA. Members of the public may also submit comments ondocuments undergoing final review.

Document Description
This document contains Minimum Aviation SystemPerformance Standards for a Combined Vision System forHelicopter Operations.
While RTCA DO-315x / EUROCAE ED-179x and DO-371 /EUROCAE ED-249 documents are not specialized for a particulartype of platform or mission, they were mostly written with fixed-wingplatforms and operations in mind. The present document is orientedspecifically towards helicopter platforms and operations. It definesperformance standards for CVS over head down andtransparent displays, which intended function is to provide asupplemental view of the external scene and visual referencesto the pilot. Such a CVS does not provide “additionaloperational credit’ and is not intended to change the helicopter’sexisting operational capability or certification basis.

#Comment Suggested resolution Comment resolution by WG
65 EASA 1.6 5,6 all The title of the section AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT INFORMATION VULNERABILITIES and the [NAV-D002] seems to be addressing requirement to the aircraft manufacturer. This is not supposed to be covered by this Standard.
Remove any requirement which is not pertaining to the origination or processing of navigation data
Accepted with modification - This section was only included at the request of RTCA, and is going to be removed after updated guidance from Rebecca. Accept by removing the whole section.
68 EASA 2.2.4 14 775 [NAV-R003] is addressing a requirement of the RNP system, in contradiction with the scope not to address requirements for the applications themselves
Revisit all the document to eliminate requirements at system or aircraft level. The one identified in this comment is only example.
Accepted with modification - requirement itself to be deleted, replace "shall provide" with "provides".

Comment Suggested resolution Comment resolution by WG119 Lido 4.1.3.6.2 59 For the Airway segments, a system
was used to include a reference to a fix and a name. I propose to use the same concept.
4.1.3.6.2 Holding FixDefinition: Reference to the holding procedure fixNote: Differs from ICAO PANS-AIM definition –clarity.
References: ICAO Annex 15 App 1 ENR 3.6
Additional considerations/requirements: N/A4.1.3.6.3 NameDefinition: The coded designators or name-codes of significant point. [ICAO PANS-AIM]References: ICAO Annex 15 App 1 ENR 3.6
ARINC 424, Chapter 5, Section 5.13
Additional considerations/requirements: N/A
Accepted with modification - Add an additional consideration to 4.1.3.6.2 Fix:"The holding fix may be derived based on source publication location."Remove Position data element 4.1.3.6.3 (remember to remove from DQR table also)Need to remove data catalog fields from 4.1.3.4.2 (From Point) and 4.1.3.4.3 (To Point) - retain definition only, but without "Definition" label.
135 Lido 4.1.5.1.9 73 Is a duplication of the "lines of minima", since the minima lines are provided elsewhere, i.e. 4.1.5.1.12.2, 4.1.5.1.13.2 and 4.1.5.1.14.2
Remove paragraph, add reference to ARINC 424, Chapter 5, Ref. 5.275 and 5.296 to each of the "Approach Type" paragraphs mentioned.
Withdrawn
136 Lido 4.1.5.1.10 73 Is a duplication of the "lines of minima", since the minima lines are provided elsewhere, i.e. 4.1.5.1.12.2, 4.1.5.1.13.2 and 4.1.5.1.14.2
Remove paragraph, add reference to ARINC 424, Chapter 5, Ref. 5.275 and 5.296 to each of the "Approach Type" paragraphs mentioned.
Accepted - also remove 4.1.5.1.11, and remove these from DQR tables alsoAdd the following text to Additional considerations for OCA, MDA, DA:"Landing visibility data elements were not included in this document due to the variability of how visibility requirements are applied and the lack of industry consensus in how to define visibility minimums."Remove data element presentation content from 4.1.5.1.12, 4.1.5.1.13 and 4.1.5.1.14

Comment Suggested resolution Comment resolution by WG137 Lido 4.1.5.1.5 72 Aircraft Category on procedure level, I
believe this is not required as the same data is added for the segment as well, see 4.1.5.2.2
Remove 4.1.5.1.5 Accepted - need to move Additional considerations text down to 4.1.5.2.2
138 Lido 4.1.5.1.15 78 According to the paragraph number, only one MSA can be provided per procedure, or at least, if more than one are provided, it can not be linked to the correct transition.
In the absence of a gouping on transition, suggest to either move to segment level, or add a link to the transition.
Accepted - add Additional consideration stating:"If multiple MSA values apply to a procedure, each value shall [NAV-R011] be provided."
147 Lido 4.1.5.3.3 86 The CRC is part of the RTCA DO229, Appendix D FAS DB and therefore included in 4.1.5.3.1
Remove this paragraph completely
Accepted - remember to remove from the DQR table also
150 Lido 4.1.5.4 87 This section would include every fix used in any procedures? If this is correct, every waypoint also used in the enroute section (4.1.3.5) and every Navaid (4.1.4) must be repeated under 4.1.5.4, except with different attributes? E.G. there is no name field.It seems that only "unnamed" terminal waypoints in ARINC 424 terms are intended to be included here, e.g. "D5.4 XYZ", "Crossing R-270", according the references in 4.1.5.4.1. References in 4.1.5.4.2 would indicate possibly any waypoint/intersection (ARINC 424 EA and PC records), and 4.1.5.4.4 again would indicate also navaids.Where would unconnected fixes be handled which are used for tactical vectoring?
Provide a definition of 4.1.5.4 on line 4807?
Accepted - add statement in 4.1.5.4 describing that it is not meant to supersede or duplicate data elements in Navaid and Waypoint sections:"The data elements in this section are not intended to supersede or duplicate data elements in Section 4.1.3.5 Waypoints or Section 4.1.4 Navaids. When used as a Procedure Fix, data quality requirements may differ from those defined in the Waypoint or Navaid tables."Also, add the following footnote to Procedure Fix in Table 4-5:"2When a Waypoint or Navaid is used as a Procedure Fix, the DQRs in this table supersede those in Tables 4-3 and 4-4, respectively."

Comment Suggested resolution Comment resolution by WG151 Lido 4.1.5.4.1 87 The ARINC 424 reference is to the naming rules
that explain how to create a database identifier for ARINC 424 Waypoint (EA and PC records) if a location must be coded having no usable identifier according state source.Does this mean only unnamed waypoints are contained in this section?
Change ARINC 424 reference to:ARINC 424, Chapter 5, Ref 5.13
Accepted
152 Lido 4.1.5.4.2 87 If only unnamed locations are included in 4.1.5.4, then this paragraph should be removed, because ATC reporting requirements are not required at unnamed locations.Also, the ARINC 424 reference is to a paragraph describing procedure legs, so it should be included in the procedure segment part, not at the fix part.
Remove paragraph, or move it to procedure segment.
Withdrawn - superseded by comment resolution of 150
153 Lido 4.1.5.4.4 87 The above paragraphs would indicate more that it is waypoints only. This defeintion reads that also navaids are included.Please clarify
Withdrawn - superseded by comment resolution of 151
156 Lido 4.1.5.6.3 90 Is a Missed Approach Point Helicopter specific? Delete, or if the intention was to have this specificylly, include a text to specify.
Accepted - delete this data element; remember to remove from DQR table as well

154 Lido 4.1.5.5 87 The section is very different from the enroute holding part.
Copy the enroute holding section after evaluating the above comments
Accepted with modification - harmonize these 2 holding pattern sections as follows:Keep Identification, Fix, Inbound Track, Turn Direction, Arc Radius, Speed, Inbound/Outbound Indicator, and RNP from EnrouteKeep Time, Distance, Minimum Altitude, and Maximum Altitude from ProcedureHarmonize definitions and references between each of the sections:Identification - Keep Route definition, add reference to ICAO PANS OPS Vol II, Part II,

both locations except A424 5.65Time - Inherit definition from IFP, merge all references from both Routes and IFP in both
locations except A424 5.64, and drop "Leg" from data element name (remember to change in DQR table also), make expected resolution 0.1 min for bothMinimum Altitude - Change definition in both Routes and IFP to: "Minimum holding level or
altitude of the holding procedure. Note: Differs from ICAO PANS-AIM – Incomplete", keep references only from Routes in both places, change name of both element to "Minimum Holding Level/Altitude" (remember to change in DQR table), and change Accuracy value to "DV (Altitude: 1 ft, FL: 50m or 100ft)" in both DQR tablesMaximum Altitude - Change definition in both Routes and IFP to: "Maximum holding level
or altitude of the holding procedure. Note: Differs from ICAO PANS-AIM – Incomplete", keep references only from Routes in both places, change name of both element to "Maximum Holding Level/Altitude" (remember to change in DQR table), and change Accuracy value to "DV (Altitude: 1 ft, FL: 50m or 100ft)" in both DQR tablesSee 119 for explanation why Position is not being kept
Conclusions
The SC-217 Committee • requests the PMC to approve DO-201B for publication• requests that publication be deferred until the ICAO Doc
10066 (PANS-AIM) is published• suggests that SC-217 is on hiatus for at least 1 year, until
further assessment of the need • to develop new standards, e.g.
• data for UAS/drones/”new entrants” (e.g. autonomous vehicles, vertical take off and landing vehicles, etc.)
• data driven charting
• to update existing standards (DO-200B, DO-201B, DO-272D, DO-276C, DO-291C, DO-342)
• to synchronize DO-201() with ARINC 424 ()

Non-Concur DO-204B InputsFRAC:• Comment 325 – Submitted by an Airframe MFG• Subject:
• “non-commanded deployment” for the ELT system shall be 10-7 FH “
• The contributor felt that probably should be more stringent (10-9 FH) for an Automatic Deployable ELT in certain situations.
• Resolution: • A conference call was setup with the contributor, who had not
attended any previous plenary sessions. • The rationale for the existing text was outlined and discussed
based on past work for of the FDR ED-112 working group.• The contributor understood the background and acknowledged
that the test in the MOPS could remain as written.• The NC was withdrawn.
Conclusions
The leadership and members of SC-229 have successfully completed their work as outlined in the Terms of Reference.
The team respectfully requests that the RTCA PMC approved the DO-204b MOPS as written.
Request that the SC-229 remain in an active monitoring mode. • The “triggered in flight ELT” as originally conceived in the ToR, evolved into the
ELT(DT), a solution for ICAO GADSS Autonomous Distress Tracking (ADT).
• With the ADT mandate approaching in 2021, the SC-229 provides a forum to capture additional work or changes as ADT implementations, test cases, and methods of compliance are encountered.
• Meet with WG-98 to propose a schedule for meeting over the next year to be available for change requests to DO-204b.
• Maximize participation by collaborating with other industry meetings ( EUROCAE, AEEC, Cospas-Sarsat to foster involvement and facilitation of the discussion.

operations• DO-315A captured operations to 1000 RVR and use
below 100 feet• DO-315B captured SVS for Credit• DO-341 Captured EFVS down to 300 RVR• DO-359 Captured SVGS for Credit• DO-371 Captured EFVS for Takeoff• DO-375 in approval for CVGS for Helicopters
Document DiscussionTerms of Reference – Revision 12• Consolidate all guidance material for SVS into one
MASPS• Consolidate all guidance material for EVS/EFVS into
one MAPS• Clarify CVS with a place in both documents
depending on which source is primary for operational concepts
• New MASPS will not obsolete current DO guidance• No identified need for MOPS
Document DiscussionTerms of Reference – Revision 12• Aligns work with envisioned AC and eliminates circular
references• Provides better guidance material as the committee
discovered there are more similarities than differences when applied to different operational concepts
• Facilitates better alignment and incorporation of additional CONOPS
ConclusionsRTCA SC-213 recommends continuing work with the two new documents and PMC approving the revised TOR.
Additional Guidance material on operations between 1000 RVR and 300 RVR may be developed.

• Participants• Around 146 participants from multiple industry stakeholders
1 Plenary to discuss TOR revision and consensus
Activity between April and December Plenary
Held a telecons to discuss SC-216 response to new WG-72 TOR having 4 new deliverables• Committee has provided feedback that there is no need to revise
DO-355, proposed changes are helpful to the document but not necessary but…
• Committee also wants to remain harmonized
Additional telecon discussion simply repeated the same theme and resulted in formal response to WG-72 about our concern with the documents
Discussion among SC-216 leadership indicated that we should become active again as the best way to maintain some harmonization
December 4, 2018 Plenary
Distributed revised TOR with 2 deliverables• The TOR is revised to allow revision of DO-355 to maintain
harmonization• Information Security Event Management document is less well
defined, SC-216 would prefer to borrow much of the processes from current safety reporting, WG-72 intentions seem to lean toward creating a whole new process
Received unanimous consensus from committee to request approval from PMC for revised TOR
SC-216 TOR Deliverables
Work DO-355 revision with WG-72, with SC-216 placing emphasis on keeping scope to ARAC ASISP Report and notes from DO-356 revision
Generate a new Information Security Event Management document for publication, with emphasis placed on borrowing from current processes where possible
The Ask
SC-216 unanimously requests PMC to approve the Revised TOR and Joint work with WG-72

Agenda Item 7F:Review / Approve SC-228 TOR Revision
PMC Meeting – December 13, 2018RTCA Paper No. 228-18/PMC-1827
John R. Moore and Paul McDuffee, SC-228 Co-Chairmen
Motivations for Current TOR Revision
• Revision 5 was approved at March 2018 PMC meeting• It was noted that the changes had not been formally discussed and approved by SC-228 in
Plenary session.• One key stakeholder had concerns over some specific wording that might imply a broader
scope than intended, and that had not been properly reviewed.• PMC directed SC-228 formally concur with the Revision 5 changes at a formal Plenary
Session, including any applicable adjustments addressing the stakeholder concerns.
• Revision 6 was approved at June 2018 PMC meeting• Editorial changes only (e.g. contact information of chairs).
• Discussions from Working Group 2 have led to some proposed refinements to Phase 2 scope of work and deliverables.
• A proposed revision 7 was discussed at SC-228 Fifteenth Plenary 12 July 2018
• There was a non-concur from the floor from a key stakeholder, which led to a series of meetings leading to some proposed language to clarify the concerns.
• An updated proposed revision 7 was consensus approved at SC-228 Sixteenth Plenary meeting 13 September, 2018, with no dissenting voices.
12/13/2018 SC-228 TOR Revision 65
Summary of Proposed DAA Changes
• Remove reference to “Part 91 operations in Class C/B airspace” and explicitly differentiate between takeoff/landing and transit operations.
• This occurs in three places, characterized by the below example.
12/13/2018 SC-228 TOR Revision 66
New Language for DAA MOPS ScopeConsiderations for DAA MOPS – Phase Two Development
Experience with the development and implementation of standards reinforces the need to identify areas that require operational evaluation. For example, it is important that phase 2 equipment provide the necessary level of safety for use in all airspace, including the expanded scope of operations into Class B and C airspace. This is crucial because a target level of safety had not been identified nor defined for the DAA system. It must be clear that the standards would ensure that the system would adequately mitigate safety risks of the intended function.
• It is anticipated the FAA will establish the conditions under which DAA equipment would be sufficient for the intended operation in the National Airspace System (NAS). This may include policy and regulatory changes and the development of advisory materials for the use of the DAA equipment.
• It is anticipated that the DAA applicant would need to provide validating data that installed DAA equipment will meet its intend performance goals within a given operational environment (i.e. class of airspace) including the validation of a fully functioning and continuously available command and control link (C2) to support the DAA system. This data should demonstrate that operations with a DAA system by a UAS will not degrade the level of safety of other NAS users.
• It is anticipated the FAA or other safety oversight organizations will conduct a comprehensive operational safety analysis (e.g. Safety Risk Management Panel). The outcome of this safety analysis will be used to determine required equipage and any necessary operational mitigations for the operational implementation of the equipment built based on the DAA MOPS, and subsequent issuance of airworthiness and operational approval.
12/13/2018 SC-228 TOR Revision 67
Summary of Proposed C2 Changes
• Change Phase 2 SATCOM standard type from MOPS to MASPS and integrate into a single release.
• There are significant technology / implementation differences (particularly in Ku) in current systems.
• There is significant concern that any attempt at generating a single MOPS may not be sufficient to permit a create an appropriately scoped TSO.
• Anticipate applicants will cover SATCOM performance as part of aircraft level certification supported by this MASPS rather than equipment qualification through a TSO.
• Remove some left over language on a networking standard that was missed with that document was removed a few TOR cycles previously.
12/13/2018 SC-228 TOR Revision 68
Proposed C2 Language Change
12/13/2018 SC-228 TOR Revision 69
Proposed C2 Deliverables Changes
• Move from technology-specific SATCOM MOPS to technology-agnostic SATCOM MASPS• Integrate requirements to enable both Ka and Ku into a single release of the document.• Delay schedule for one year (which aligns to the original schedule for the combined document.

RTCA Paper No. 304-18/PMC-1838
Federal AviationAdministration
Background• Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)
continues to be a valuable tool in reducing controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) – However, within the past three years, the air taxi operations in
Alaska experienced aircraft losses and fatalities due to CFIT
73
Federal AviationAdministration
NTSB Safety Recommendations• NTSB Safety Recommendation A-17-035 asked the FAA to:
Implement ways to provide effective terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) protections while mitigating nuisance alerts for single-engine airplanes operated under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 that frequently operate at altitudes below their respective TAWS class design alerting threshold.
• NTSB Safety Recommendation A-18-015 asked the FAA to: Modify the terrain awareness and warning system requirements in Technical Standard Order C151 such that, once the alerts are manually inhibited, they do not remain inhibited indefinitely if the pilot does not uninhibit them.
74
Federal AviationAdministration
General Aviation Joint Safety Committee• GA JSC Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Working
Group (WG), Safety Enhancement (SE) 9, Output 2:– Develop software or hardware solution to un-inhibit TAWS
based on time or other appropriate variables in order to minimize the amount of time that TAWS safety benefits are unavailable.
– FAA to provide approval path for incorporation of auto un-inhibit capability. (TSO function, Non-TSO function, STC, Amended STC, etc.)
75
Federal AviationAdministration
Request• The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requests
RTCA review National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident reports, recommendations from the General Aviation Joint Safety Committee (GAJSC) CFIT working group, and the current TAWS standard.
• After reviewing NTSB Safety Recommendations, please determine whether RTCA/DO-367 needs to be updated to prescribe more current system inhibit requirements and TAWS envelope protections, based on current part 135 operating rules
76
Federal AviationAdministration
Observations• Perhaps no single solution, but is there a suitable
combination:– Use of Class C TAWS (lower min terrain clearance), – Auto-uninhibit, or – Reconfiguration of forward looking ‘field of regard’
• Does a new TSO “feature” best address this issue?• Even with a new “standard”, how best to promote
equipage?

• ICAO revising its spectrum policy document– ICAO Spectrum Handbook (Doc 9718)– Contains ICAO guidance and positions
for aviation spectrum• ICAO Frequency Spectrum
Management Panel (FSMP) initiated rewrite– Current document has evolved by
committee– Splitting existing volumes into more
relevant sections– Need to apply lessons identified in
recent spectrum management activities
www.ASRI.aero 10513 Dec 2018
ICAO Spectrum Policy
• Aiming to make the material more accessible to the reader– Often referenced by aviation to protect systems in
spectrum discussions– Used as a resource by many non-aviation organizations
• Review of characteristics for ICAO systems– Provide all relevant aviation standards for each ICAO
system– Identify what systems are missing characteristics or
parameters• Guidance for spectrum in aviation standards
– Agreement in principle that ICAO should have some guidance to help protect future aviation spectrum
– Exact implementation has yet to be agreed
www.ASRI.aero 106
Handbook Rewrite
13 Dec 2018
• Design complexity vs spectrum usage– What are we trying to protect against in the future?– How much is enough?– What is credible/meets international regulations?
• Need to fully understand all the relevant the RF parameters of aviation systems– Much of the potential spectrum issues are for the
adjacent band– Full picture that does not leave any ambiguity– Assumptions made by manufacturers need to be clear
• Ability to reference aviation standards in different forums– Ability to use different IP in such forums– Deconflict different specifications for the same systems
www.ASRI.aero 107
Discussions on Spectrum in Aviation Standards
13 Dec 2018
• High level of interest in changing the 3.7-4.2 GHz band from SATCOM to 5G– US FCC initiated rulemaking
proceedings prompted by Congress• Radio altimeter operates in the
adjacent 4.2-4.4 GHz– Adjacent band altimeter RF
performance an unknown– Theoretical studies indicate high
possibility of interference• AVSI testing now benchmarking
existing avionics to grandfather in performance in ICAO SARPs– Short timeline to influence FCC with
results– Many aviation interests have
recommended an FAA assessment
www.ASRI.aero 108
Radio Altimeter Interference
13 Dec 2018
• ICAO policy review on spectrum an ongoing process– FSMP meetings planned for Jan and Aug 2019– Consultation needed from standards group to ensure
it is practical and accurate• Aviation standards will become increasingly
important to defend aviation spectrum– Should be a complete documentation of all RF
elements– Including adjacent band operations
• Radio altimeters an ongoing concern– Uncertain outcome at this stage

• FCC has requested comment on ‘Spectrum Principles’ proposal– Still in the whitepaper phase
• Nine specific guidelines to assist in sharing spectrum– Both transmit and receive functions accounted for– Build resilience for both current and future spectrum
environment– Fully disclose the relevant standards– Receivers are responsible for mitigating interference outside
their assigned channels– Use techniques at all layers of the stack to mitigate degradation
from interference– Minimize transmit energy outside their assigned channels– Plan for occasional service degradation or interruption (and not
base rules on exceptional events).

WG2C Appendix F JustificationGNSS aided
Inertial systems
114
RTCA SC-159 WG-2CDecember 2018
Background: From SC-159 WG2C Plenary Summary
• The group favors keeping appendix F with integration method examples
• Safran has stepped up to do what was required by them to allow their contribution to be included
• WG2C will provide the justification to the PMC meeting in December as requested
115
RTCA SC-159 WG-2CDecember 2018
Justification (1)
• The justification pertains to appendix F titled INTEGRATIONS METHODS in the new MOPS for GNSS aided inertial systems
• The FAA (Jeff Meyers) acknowledges that the appendix helps provide context at certification
• Numerous method are described that help the reader see what already have been considered (prevents reinvention of the wheel) and informs the certification agency what has been investigated as part of the MOPS development
• The existence of methods capable of meeting the requirements in section 2 provides credibility to the MOPS
116
RTCA SC-159 WG-2CDecember 2018
Justification (2)
• It would be unreasonable to specifically exclude a participants authorized example since the RTCA rules allowed inclusion of patented material in examples if it was authorized
• If the RTCA rule had been stating from the start that no patented methods can be in examples (no exceptions) then all such examples would have been taken out but to leave to the group to exclude a participants authorized example is not a workable plan.
