The EUROPEAN ORGANISATION for CIVIL AVIATION EQUIPMENT
EUROCAE is a non profit making organisation which was formed at Lucerne (Switzerland) in 1963 to provide a European forum for resolving technical problems with electronic equipment for air transport.EUROCAE deals exclusively with aviation standardisation (Airborne and Ground Systems and Equipments) and related documents as required for use in the regulation of aviation equipment and systems.
EUROCAE is an association composed of members who are all specialized in one or several technical fields of Aeronautics and many of them are considered to be among world's leaders in their domain.
These members include Equipment and Airframe Manufacturers, Regulators, European and International Civil Aviation Authorities, Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), Airlines, Airports and other users.
To develop EUROCAE Documents (ED), EUROCAE organises Working Groups (WG) where members provide experts working on voluntary basis. In general the WG members come from the association membership but others may be accepted under specific conditions regarding the organisation they are belonging to and their particular expertise.
EUROCAE is governed by a Constitution and functions according to procedures resulting from almost 50 years of experience in the development of aviation standards.
