RTCA, Incorporated is a not-for-profit corporation formed to
advance the art and science of aviation and aviation electronic
systems for the benefit of the public. The organization functions
as a Federal advisory committee, and develops consensus-based
recommendations on contemporary aviation issues. RTCA's objectives
include but are not limited to:
- coalescing aviation system user and provider technical
requirements in a manner that helps government and industry meet
their mutual objectives and responsibilities;
- analyzing and recommending solutions to the system technical
issues that aviation faces as it continues to pursue increased
safety, system capacity and efficiency;
- developing consensus on the application of pertinent technology
to fulfill user and provider requirements, including development of
minimum operational performance standards for electronic systems
and equipment that support aviation; and
- assisting in developing the appropriate technical material upon
which positions for the International Civil Aviation Organization
and the International Telecommunication Union and other appropriate
international organizations can be based.
The organization's recommendations are often used as the basis
for government and private sector decisions as well as the
foundation for many Federal Aviation Administration Technical
Standard Orders and several advisory circulars.
Since RTCA is not an official agency of the United States
Government, its recommendations may not be regarded as statements
of official government policy unless so enunciated by the U.S.
government organization or agency having statutory jurisdiction
over any matters to which the recommendations relate.
