DO-311A with Appendix C

At the PMC Plenary of 7/13/17, the PMC directed SC-225 to add Appendix C to DO-311A for presentation at the 9/21/17 PMC PlenaryAppendix C was addedReceived dissenting opinions to Appendix CCommittee wrote and approved response to dissenting opinionsFinal Plenary held 8/31/2017

SC-225 Basis for Dissent Presented by Brett Williams (Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics)

Four RTCA member companies/representatives have provided a dissenting opinion against the currently proposed RTCA/DO-311A Consent is specifically focused on the inclusion of Appendix C: Alternate Test

Method for Battery Thermal Runaway Containment (BTRC) Test

Appendix C is an alternate test method used to meet the requirement of 2.2.2.4 The primary means of compliance to 2.2.2.4 is the BTRC test as defined in 2.4.5.5 The BTRC test requires that all cells of a battery be overcharged or overheated

while demonstrating containment of the resulting thermal runaway The Appendix C test requires that only two cells be overcharged or overheated

while demonstrating containment of the resulting thermal runaway

The dissenting opinion opposes the inclusion of Appendix C for the following reasons: Appendix C provides for a reduced level of safety as compared to the BTRC test Appendix C is an inappropriate use of ‘alternate means of compliance’ (AMOC) for

a MOPS SC-225 approved DO-311A through the FRAC process with general consensus

without the inclusion of Appendix C19

SC-225 Dissent Support DetailsAppendix C represents a reduced level of safety in relation to the BTRC test RTCA/DO-293, DO-293A, DO-311, and DO-347 require a test equivalent to the BTRC,

in which all cells are subjected to an unprotected abuse condition Appendix C prescribes analysis to demonstrate that a common mode failure could not

cause all cells to experience a thermal runaway, rather than a test to validate the design and mitigate that potential event NOTE: Three field failure events of certified/installed lithium-ion batteries, leading to two ADs,

resulted in more than two cells within the battery reaching a thermal runaway Lithium-ion battery technology continues to evolve, therefore the additional margin of

safety provided by the BTRC test versus Appendix C is necessary to protect the public safety

The requirement to demonstrate a minimum of two cells in thermal runaway per 2.2.2.4 is due to variation in battery design, but still is intended to be demonstrated through an all-battery test.

Appendix C documents an inappropriate AMOC within a MOPS An alternate means of compliance should be applied against a MOPS, not within it Appendix C is not an acceptable alternate to the BTRC test because it does not

provide an equivalent level of safetySC-225 reached consensus on DO-311A without Appendix C The original document (without Appendix C) was approved through FRAC and reached

general consensus, including Boeing, Airbus, and Saft, with 89% of the voting members approving

After inclusion of Appendix C, only 78% of the voting members approved 20

Response to Dissent LetterPresented by James Russell (The Boeing Company)

Dissent Letter raised three key points. The SC-225 Committee responses:

Point 1: Reduced Level of Safety• The Appendix C procedure is compliant with the Battery Thermal Runaway Containment (BTRC) requirements.

• Use of the Appendix C procedure must satisfy prerequisites and be pre-coordinated with the FAA or the applicable regulatory agency.

• The Appendix C procedure requires multiple tests as opposed to the BTRC test which is a single test.

• The Appendix C procedure is conservative because it provides double the heat and pressure of any single cell failing from a randomly-occurring cause.

• The Appendix C procedure can be performed without pre-heating the whole battery, which could compromise the validity of the test results.

• The Appendix C procedure provides a feasible method to test very large battery systems.

Point 2: Improper Alternate Means of Compliance• It is the technical opinion of the majority of the SC-225 committee that the Appendix C procedure represents an

acceptable alternative means to show compliance with the BTRC requirements

• As stated in the SC-225 terms of reference, a key deliverable is to provide guidance to the FAA for certification of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, it is appropriate to include an alternate test procedure within the MOPS which may be used by the FAA in an Advisory Circular.

Point 3: RTCA Consensus Process• The members of the SC-225 committee have all followed the RTCA procedures as set forth by RTCA representatives

over the course of the multi-year MOPS development.

For these reasons the majority of the SC-225 Committee endorses the inclusion of Appendix C as adding value to RTCA/DO-311A.

Note: The SC-228 TOR allows the DAA Working Group to explore “optional concepts" for which the DAA equipment could be applicable. There is strong industry interest in enabling (i) take-off/landing operations at airports in Class C airspace and (ii) transit operations through Class C and Class B airspace. Therefore, the Working Group will develop these operational concepts in the OSED development, recognizing that if related MOPS development work is to be pursued, then a TOR update would be required. There may be adjustments to the deliverable dates due to additional airspace scope and related developmental MOPS work. The Working Group plans to make a decision, no later than the completion of the OSED, to provide rational to the SC-228 Leadership in order to justify a request an update to the TOR to include these operations as explicitly in scope for MOPS development.

Technical Approach (Overview)

C2 Link System. All systems and interconnections carrying all information exchanges between the Pilot Station and the UA that support many key pilot tasks required to safely fly in the NAS.

• The allocation between CNPC Link Systems and CNPC Network Systems has many potential solutions, and this is left to the applicant to propose in the light of specific aircraft configurations, operational intent, etc

CNPC Link System. A technology-specific solution that supports the final radio frequency (RF) connectivity between the ground and the UA.

• This may consist of one or more CNPC Link subsystems. • Within the CNPC Link System, there may be both networking and linking functions. • CNPC Link Systems are comparable to a subnetwork described in other aeronautical standards,

such as DO-281B.

CNPC Network System. This system consists of ground and airborne components which themselves can be composed of a collection of wired or wireless interconnections, and signal routing capabilities used to connect the Pilot Station and the UA to a CNPC Link System.

19 Non-concurs Addressed at Unofficial Plenary #7 (Working Group Meeting)

• 3 were accepted

• 8 were rejected

• 8 were accepted with modification

Summary of Non-Concurs: RejectedThere was a few non-concur comments regarding the scope of the new DO-227A, particularly with regard to categorizing battery size and applicability of the requirements. Specifically, the committee discussed the 2Whr threshold. There was no consensus (or agreement) to increase the 2Whr limit and the comments were rejected. However, the FAA did indicate that they open to addressing this issue through TSO-C142b.

There was a non-concur comment regarding the purpose of DO-227A. Specifically, it was stated that the MOPS should be developed to ANSI standard C18.3, Part 1 and Part 2. This comment was rejected by the committee. SC-235’s charter is to update DO-227A in accordance with the RTCA template and cannot deviate from this guidance.

Three non-concur comments were withdrawn by the commenter and thus rejected by the committee.

There was a non-concur comment indicating that the Fire Test from TSO-C142a, Appendix 1, Table 2 was omitted in the new DO-227A. The committee discussed and determined that the Fire test applied to equipment which must survive a fire and remain functional (e.g. ELT). This requirement does not apply to all End Items (e.g. ULD) so the Fire test was elevated from the Battery MOPS to the installation standard.

There was a non-concur comment regarding the method of triggering the Thermal Runaway. The comment stated that triggering by temperature was not as consistent or reliable as other methods. This comment was rejected by the committee as the use of heat to trigger a TR is the most recognized method with consistent performance.

59

Summary of Non-Concurs: Accepted with Modifications

There were non-concur comments regarding the criteria for determining the end of a cell and battery short circuit tests. The initial requirements stated to test until the battery reached zero volts. Because of the nature of a short circuit test, the battery voltage will quickly reach zero volts. A more suitable criteria was agreed upon using cell and battery currents.

There was a non-concur comment regarding the end-item shock test levels. It was felt that the 75g shock environment was too severe for the end item test. The committee discussed and agreed to reduce this to a 20g requirement.

There was a non-concur comment requesting a “full battery” Thermal Runaway Containment Test be included into DO-227A. After much discussion, the committee agreed that a full battery test was not required. However, it was decided that triggering of a single cell TR must be accomplished on the worst case cell location as determined and substantiated by test and analysis.

Summary of Committee Current Scope

Coordinate with the FAA and Flammability Harmonization Working Group on potential new alternative flammability test methods and procedures including testing whole components instead of breaking down electronic devices into individual material samples as currently required.

Chair a working group to work with industry representatives on requirements and testing of the continually changing aircraft power systems. This working group is to propose test conditions for 540 volt dc generators, and to break section 16 into multiple sections one for AC power systems and the other for DC power systems, and to break sections into emissions and susceptibility.

Coordinate with the SAE AE-2, Lightning Committee, to address hybrid wire bundle testing.

Chair a working group to work with industry representatives on requirements for aligning Audio Susceptibility requirements to that of MIL STD-461 and to bridge the frequency gap between audio frequency susceptibility and RF frequency susceptibility

Chair a working group to work with industry representatives on requirements for developing a proposal developing a method on a faster alternative to the current reverb chamber uniformity calibration.

Chair a working group to work with industry representatives and EUROCAE WG-14 on considering requirements for volcanic ash qualification.

Investigate specific aspect of carbon dust (due to its conductivity) which is now widely present in the aircraft industry.

Setup a new section and a new Working Group to address Ground Reference Fluctuation which is a phenomenon aggravated by the combination of more composite structure and more electrical aircraft.

Address specific aspects of testing of Integrated Modular Avionics. As being a versatile platform for which the supplier may only provide for generic hardware and firmware, with the intent that the end user will implement its own hardware configuration and application software, the hardware and software configuration issues question the ability of the supplier to claim for a DO-160/ED-14 compliance.

Investigate to replace 19.3.5 with a test procedure similar to MIL STD 461 CS115.

• DO-333/ED-216: Formal Methods supplement to DO-178C/ED-12C and DO-278AED-109A


What is FAS? - The Document Suite

• RTCA publishes the documents electronically as PDF files in addition to publishing hard copy paper documents

• EUROCAE publishes these documents in electronic form as PDFs

89

FTAC/EUROCAE’s FAS …

• Is NOT a recognized special committee (SC) by RTCA nor as a working group (WG) for EUROCAE

• Products are NOT approved by RTCA’s PMC nor the Council of EUROCAE

• Products are NOT recognized by the Certification Authorities

• No Terms of Reference (scope of work) from RTCA/EUROCAE

• However, scope of operations established in agreement with RTCA and EUROCAE

What FAS IS NOT


90

FAS Goals & Products To share lessons learned in the use of the

RTCA/EUROCAE “software document suite” and to encourage good practices and promote the effective use of RTCA’s and EUROCAE’s publications.

To identify and record any issues or errata showing the need for clarifications ormodifications to the “software document suite”

To develop and revise FAS Topic Papers (FTPs) relative to RTCA’s and EUROCAE’s publications or related other aeronautical software industry topics.


91

FAS Products Usage Statement

FAS Products… • Do not constitute official policy or position from

RTCA/EUROCAE or any regulatory agency or authority

• Documents are made available for educational and informational purposes only

• Documents are the exclusive intellectual property of RTCA and EUROCAE

• Document material may be used without prior written permission in an unaltered form with proper acknowledgement of the source


92

FAA Goal - Technology Watch

When FAS identifies the need…• For significant changes to the “software

document suite”• or for a new technology supplement

Then the FAS Executive Management Committee will identify to RTCA/EUROCAE and FAA/EASA, as appropriate, the need to create a new SC/WG

If a new SC/WG is formed by RTCA/EUROCAE, documentation from FAS will be made available to the leadership of the new SC/WG for their consideration

• Internal: (FAS and future committee use only)• Contains information for future committee, e.g. proposal

for text changes• Watermark :

FAS Internal paper only

• External (published information)• Contains clarification without the proposal of any

changes to the existing text of the Document Suite• Watermark :

FAS information for educational and informational purposes


95

Operations Summary• FAS normal operation is within virtual space with Video

Conferencing, WebExs etc.• Identification of Issues in the Document Suite• FAS Members and the General Public can submit issues• FAS Executive Committee screens submittals for real issues• FAS Members volunteer to author FTPs to address

identified issues• Members deliberate over draft FAS Topic Papers• When current comments are addressed on the FTP a ballot

is taken• Editorial check is performed on FTPs passing their ballot• FTP is then published on the RTCA/EUROCAE websites• Membership is open to RTCA/EUROCAE member

organizations with an expectation that one person would represent one organization

• Observer role is available when more than one person from an organization has requested membership

SC-186 Co-chairRTCA Paper No. 206-17/PMC-1645

RTCA PMCSeptember 21, 2017


SC-186 Terms of Reference – Rev. 18 Changes

• SC LEADERSHIP- Gregg Nesemeier replaces Don Walker as DFO. Many thanks to Don for his

years of service as the DFO!

• DELIVERABLES‒ Advanced Flight-deck based Interval Management (FIM) SPR, Interop (DO-

328B). Change from “2018” to Dec. 2019. The “2018” was only an initial estimate made back in 2014.

‒ Advanced Flight-deck based Interval Management (FIM) MOPS.‒ Identified initial FIM MOPS release (DO-361).‒ Change DO-361A update from “2018” to Dec. 2019. The “2018” was only an

initial estimate made back in 2014.‒ 1090 MHz ADS-B MOPS update (DO-260C). Change from “2019” to Dec. 2019.

The “2019” was only an initial estimate made back in 2014.‒ Split out the Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) MOPS update (DO-282C)

from the 1090 MHz MOPS (DO-260C) deliverable line, since it is a separate deliverable getting worked under a separate task within SC-186 WG-3 (recognizing that many of the changes made in DO-260C will likely get folded into DO-282C). Current plan is to complete DO-282C by Dec. 2019.



• ENVISIONED USE OF DELIVERABLE(S)- EUROCAE WG-51 is not currently working with RTCA SC-186 on Advanced FIM.

The wording in this section is revised to reflect this.

• SPECIFIC GUIDANCE (specific line items were updated)#1 EUROCAE WG-51 is not currently working with RTCA SC-186 on Advanced FIM. Also, ADS-B In ARC is deleted (it was completed in 2012).

#2 Add that we are working jointly with EUROCAE WG-51 on the DO-260C MOPS update.

#5 Editorial change: DO-185A DO-185[ ]

#6 EUROCAE WG-51 is not currently working with RTCA SC-186 on Advanced FIM.

#10 Entire line is deleted. SC-186 is not working on CDTI-Assisted Pilot Procedures (CAPP). Paired Approach is covered under the current WG-4 Advanced FIM work. Pairwise Trajectory Management (PTM) research was terminated by NASA before it was sufficiently mature, therefore, it is deleted.

#11 (re-numbered #10) Add coordination with SC-228 (UAS) as appropriate.



• ACRONYMS- Update list of Acronyms
