PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE REPORT

This report collects relevant information (e.g., minimum performance requirements) on current RTCA/EUROCAE aeronautical standards for aviation wireless systems and identifies variations in how such performance is documented. It is not intended to be a critical assessment of Special Committee (SC)/Working Group (WG) products or a compliance review to identify any corrections to existing RTCA/EUROCAE documents. Any trends identified as gaps in RF performance characteristics, or examples of spectrum best practice, are summarized. While this report does not propose solutions to any issues found during the course of the SC-242/WG-124 survey, the report will be considered during the development of the subsequent work by SC-242/WG-124 in developing a new document on Spectrum Guidance for the Developers of Standards for Aviation Wireless Systems.
