Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is changing aviation transportation and presenting new technologies that will raise the safety bar for the entire aviation ecosystem. As AAM matures, RTCA is supporting the industry with the necessary standards to help ensure the integration of new entrants and legacy operations continues to be performed in a safe and efficient manner.
AUVSI XPONENTIAL Participation
We want to hear from you at our working group during XPONENTIAL!
Join us Wednesday, May 10, at 10:30am MT:
AAM OPEN FORUM: STANDARDS AND WHITEPAPERS NEEDED FOR INTEGRATION
This session is structured to gather feedback from the AAM industry on the standards and guidance documents needed to safely integrate AAM into the NAS. Safety and security guidance will be part of the discussion as they relate to existing and future standards and requirements to transform a safety plan into an SMS.
RTCA is also participating in the following panel discussions:
Advancing International Standards to Meet AAM/RPAS Global Requirements
Tuesday, May 9, 4pm MT
Skies for All: A Universal Approach to Future Airspace Integration
Wednesday, May 10, 11:30am MT
Technical Standards for UAS, RPAS, and AAM: RTCA SC-228
Wednesday, May 10, 4pm MT
RTCA AAM Initiatives
In 2023, RTCA launched a series of workshops and webinars for industry and government participants to address the framework and system requirements of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) needed to support future aviation flight operations.
AAM Workshop Series for RTCA Members
-
RTCA’s first-ever Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Workshop convened more than 50 aviation professionals to discuss flight operations, lift/thrust, safety and security, avionics, concept of operations (conops), and ground operations and infrastructure. Read More
-
RTCA’s second Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Workshop, with over 100 members, focused on avionics, concept of operations (conops), and spectrum. The discussion centered on advancing technology and the development of certification pathways to ensure safe and sustainable transportation in urban areas. Read More

Join RTCA at its next AAM Workshop, Tuesday, May 23rd from 8:30 AM-3:30 PM, discussing AAM Concepts of Operations (Conops). With the convergence of technology, infrastructure, and regulations, we are ready to deliver a new means of transportation in the form of AAM. Conops are needed for each use case in AAM, but what are they? And what are the needs for near-term, mid-term, and far-term? Come participate in the timely discussions to determine what’s next for the NAS. Register
RTCA Forum for Digital Flight
The RTCA Forum for Digital Flight was established at the beginning of 2023 to find consensus and create calls to action within the aviation community regarding the output of digital flight. The outcome will be the publication of a white paper which will address operations, third party service providers, and aircraft capabilities.
Next Meeting: Monday, April 17 from 2 PM to 5 PM at RTCA Headquarters (a virtual option will be provided). Email info@rtca.org for more information.
