EUROCAE Working Group 70 in September 2010 published ED-142, the "Technical Specification for Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) Systems". Being almost 13 years old and considering the significant technological advances in this surveillance technology it is apparent, that this document needs to be revised.

On 21 April 2023, the EUROCAE Council approved the creation of WG-127 Lower-risk Aviation Applications. The working group is tasked to develop a simplified software development methodology for lower-risk applications. 

We are pleased to announce the availability of the following draft EUROCAE document prepared by EUROCAE WG-112 SG-4 "Flight" for Open Consultation: Draft ED-314 "Compliance methodologies for VTOL certification in inadvertent icing and snow operation" This document provides a means of compliance for icing related regulations applicable to VTOL aircraft that are not certified for ...

We are pleased to inform you that EUROCAE WG-127 "Lower-risk Aviation Applications" has been created.The regulatory framework for UAS is being developed. EASA recently released additional information on their plan for certifying UAS by defining the certified, specific, and open categories. While the certified UAS category is aligned with the DO-178C/ED-12C document suite for de ...

We are pleased to announce the publication of ED-312|Guidance on Determining Failure Modes in Lithium-Ion Cells for eVTOL Applications. This document contains guidance on the definition and detection of lithium-ion cell failures, cell failure causes and materials level failure modes. It also informs on interdependencies between failure causes that may be considered when definin ...

The new Working Group has been tasked to develop a concise description of the operational scenarios where ATC and VCS Systems may be sharing flight information and the identification of all information elements they may exchange to provide ATCOs with a more integrated platform, capable of enhancing their capability of proactively managing the air traffic they are responsible for.
The new Working Group will also define the communication interface between ATC and VCS Systems for information sharing.

We are pleased to inform you that EUROCAE WG-51 SG-5 "Wide Area Multilateration Surveillance System" has been created.Develop Revision A to ED-142 'Technical Specification for Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) Systems'. More information: https://eurocae.net/about-us/working-groups/ ...
