RTCA Symposium

This week Thales was at the RTCA 2015 Global Aviation Symposium in Washington, D.C. 

Continuing the discussion on the implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) in the U.S., Thales’ Jerry Johnson, Air Traffic Management Technical Director, participated in a panel that looked at the safety implications this system is enabling.

“Data Comm automation operating in Memphis and Newark reduces human mistakes such as readback errors and distractions ensuring timely aircraft departures,”

- Jerry Johnson, Air Traffic Management Technical Director, Thales.

The RTCA symposium also took time to recognize the significant contributions made by individuals in the creation of Data Comm standards. Among the winners for outstanding leadership were Thales’s Pascal Rohault and Frederic Picard.
