Open Consultation for ED-57A

We are pleased to announce the availability of the following draft EUROCAE document prepared by EUROCAE WG-107 DME Infrastructure supporting PBN Positioning:

  • ED-57A: MOPS for Distance Measuring Equipment (DME/N and DME/P) (Ground Equipment). 

WG-107 is tasked to revise the existing EUROCAE Document ED-57 “Minimum Performance Specification for Distance Measuring Equipment (DME/N and DME/P) – Ground Equipment” and to develop a new document “Minimum Aviation Systems Performance Specification (MASPS) for DME Infrastructure Supporting PBN Positioning”.

This document supersedes ED-57 (December 1986). The document has been updated to bring the standard in line with current equipment capabilities of DME/N while maintaining compatibility with ICAO Annex 10 and FAA-E-37016. The specifications related with DME/P have not been changed. As compared with the previous version, the main changes are listed in APPENDIX A.

You are invited to review the proposed draft on the EUROCAE Workspace and complete the comment form. If you are a non-member of EUROCAE, please register here (and click on “Access only to Open Consultation”). Early replies are encouraged.

End Date: 16/01/2026.
