美國航空無線電委員會(huì)(RTCA)成立于1953年,是一個(gè)私營的非營利性組織。美國航空無線電委員會(huì)是首選的公私合作伙伴。它在航空現(xiàn)代化領(lǐng)域方面,和日益全球化的企業(yè)就存在分歧的、具有競爭利益的關(guān)鍵問題尋求共識(shí)。
實(shí)際上,協(xié)會(huì)已為航空領(lǐng)域現(xiàn)代化技術(shù)的進(jìn)步提供了基礎(chǔ)支持。美國航空無線電委員會(huì)生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品符合政府對設(shè)備認(rèn)證的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),為每天穿梭于世界領(lǐng)空的成千上萬架飛機(jī)提供服務(wù)。作為聯(lián)邦咨詢委員會(huì)委員,美國航空無線電委員會(huì)應(yīng)聯(lián)邦航空管理局(簡稱FAA)的要求,為聯(lián)邦政府在一些問題上,包括從技術(shù)性能標(biāo)準(zhǔn)到航空運(yùn)輸經(jīng)營理念,提出全面的、符合行業(yè)審查標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的意見和建議。協(xié)會(huì)的討論是面向公眾的。產(chǎn)品是由航空社區(qū)志愿者在協(xié)商一致的基礎(chǔ)上以及共同評議的環(huán)境中開發(fā)出來的。
為提高航空運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)的安全性和效率性,組織給公共部門和私營企業(yè)的合作提供場所。美國聯(lián)邦航空管理局已經(jīng)接納了美國航空無線電委員會(huì)提出的意見和建議并采取行動(dòng),現(xiàn)已有具體成效,如航空電子設(shè)備的及時(shí)認(rèn)證和空中交通管理系統(tǒng)性能的提高。
Who is RTCA?
RTCA is a private, not-for-profit association founded in 1935 as the Radio Technical Commission for
Aeronautics. We are the premier Public-Private Partnership venue for developing consensus among diverse, competing interests on critical aviation modernization issues in an increasingly global enterprise.
RTCA has provided the foundation for virtually every modern technical advance in aviation. Our products serve as the b
asis for government certification of equipment used by the tens of thousands of aircraft flying daily through the world’s airspace. Utilized as a Federal advisory committee, RTCA works in response to requests from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to develop comprehensive, industry-vetted and endorsed recommendations for the Federal government on issues ranging from technical performance standards to operational concepts for air transportation. Our deliberations are open to the public and our products are developed by aviation communityvolunteers functioning in a consensus-based, collaborative, peer-reviewed environment.
The Value of RTCA
RTCA provides the venue for public-private collaboration that achieves the necessary improvements in the safety and efficiency of the air transportation system. The FAA has taken positive action on recommendations it has sought from RTCA, leading to tangible outcomes such as timely availability of certified avionics and improvements in the performance of the air traffic management system.
