Special Committee SC-202 “Portable Electronic Devices” Summary of RTCA SC-202 Discussions with Consumer Electronics Industry Identifying issues and developing consensus based recommendations to facilitate safe use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) for our mutual customer base. 1/15/2022

What Are RTCA SC-202 Objectives § Collaborate to achieve a clearer understanding of: § actual PED spurious emissions (as potential sources) § actual aviation equipment immunity (as potential victims) § aircraft environment and anticipated passenger use cases § Evaluate FCC Part 15 and RTCA DO-160 cat M limits with respect to actual product performance § Develop consensus-based recommendations to: § facilitate ubiquitous safe use of PEDs, T-PEDs on aircraft by our common customer base § explore practical and mutually-beneficial self-regulation of PED emission compatibility § Develop a common understanding of the evolving market for PED use in RF sensitive environments 3 1/15/2022

Summary of RTCA SC-202 Contacts with Consumer Electronics Industry Associations, presented RTCA SC-202 “Call for a Collaborative Effort” CEA Technology & Standards Council (TSC) § CEA member companies declined opportunity for dialog with SC-202 § CEA offered to facilitate appropriate documentation in coordination with RTCA if their members request Wi. Media Alliance § Regulatory Group reviewed and approved without dissent § Devices built to Wi. Media Alliance standards will meet or exceed RTCA SC-202 characteristics for compatibility with airplane systems Wi-Fi Alliance / IEEE 802. 18 § WFA believes devices built to their requirements will meet or exceed RTCA SC-202 characteristics for compatibility with airplane systems § As they are an interoperability group, recommended IEEE as standards organization would be better to provide statement of compatibility § Ongoing discussions with IEEE 802. 18 4 1/15/2022

Summary of RTCA SC-202 Contacts Contact with IEEE 802. Committees: § Determine if documented standards for devices already require emissions compatible with RTCA proposed emissions requirements for compatibility with airplane systems § Does this require an extension to the current emissions mask, which would define emissions limits in the two defined aviation bands? § Determine what assurance or advice can be given to RTCA SC-202 for guidelines to aviation industry § Potentially similar to statement from Wi. Media Alliance: “Devices built to xxxxx standards will meet or exceed RTCA SC-202 characteristics for compatibility with airplane systems” 5 1/15/2022

Remaining Goals SC-202 work to be completed: § Documented statements of compliance or non-compliance with proposed RTCA SC-202 spurious emissions limits for PED technologies § Incorporate statements into final revision of guidelines document “Guidance on Allowing Transmitting Portable Electronic Devices (T‑PEDs) on Aircraft” § Provide context for document users: • How user may “take credit” for compliant devices • Technologies where compliance is not assured puts onus on document user to assess and propose mitigation plans for risks § Set stage for future technologies to consider compatibility with aviation environment when setting spurious emissions requirements 6 1/15/2022

Incentives Qualifying PED technologies for use onboard aircraft: § Adds possible marketing value to advertised “airplane friendly” devices § Gives frequent business travelers an incentive to purchase such devices § May help alleviate “multimode” interference § Makes it easier for airlines to get approval for use of the devices 7 1/15/2022
