Draft ED-147RevA “ATM Validation Platforms Interoperability Specification”

This document supersedes ED-147 “ATM Validation Platforms Interoperability Specification” (January 2013).

  • Introduction of EPP data structure in FMS object
  • Refinement of ADS-B message description
  • Addition of SelectedAltitude and SelectedHeading in ADS-B message
  • Renaming of the Datalink messages and complete redesign of the header attributes of the message generalization
  • Rationalization of some data types between Aircraft object attributes and ATGFlightPlan attributes
  • Creation of IdPublishedPointType to replace IdPublishedPointStruct each time a published point is required in a structure for an attribute that is not defined as a union.
  • Removal of Operating attribute of TCASDataStruct
  • Redefinition of the Ref_Id_Receiving/Transferring_Oe string attribute of CoordinationAndTranferStruct into ATSOperationalEntityStruct
  • Modification of constraints for AltitudeMType, AltitudeFtType and SpeedMsType
  • Refinement of Time Synchronisation management
  • Revision of the output data requirements
  • Addition of further comments in QoS as regards Atomicity and Ordering.
