HMMH is pleased to announce that it has joined RTCA, which is a non-for-profit association that was founded in 1935 as a radio technical commission for aeronautics. RTCA is a Federal advisory committee that works in response to requests from the FAA to develop consensus among diverse, competing interests on critical aviation modernization issues in an increasingly global enterprise. Chartered by the FAA to operate Federal advisory committees, RTCA employs a consensus-driven process to generate minimum performance standards for Air Traffic Control systems and equipment; to forge recommendations on key aviation policies, and identifying and developing mitigation on issues affecting air traffic management operations. RTCA developed performance standards form the basis for FAA regulatory requirements while the policy advice informs the FAA’s prioritization and investment decisions.

HMMH has supported a number of RTCA task forces in the past. Diana Wasiuk is a member of the NextGen Integration Working Group (NIWG), which drives industry agreement on the prioritization and timing of investments in NextGen and thePBN Time, Speed, and Spacing Task Group, which prioritizes the waterfall of PBN implementation and evaluates opportunities to maximize PBN benefits in the near-and mid-term. Mary Ellen Eagan is on the PBN Blueprint Community Outreach Task Group, which identifies best practices in communication around PBN noise issues.
