The Federal Aviation Administration published a National Standard on Beacon Collision Avoidance System (BCAS) on October 27, 1980, with its objective to receive comments from the aviation community by February 27, 1981. To aid them in the preparation of comments on the Standard, a 2-day conference was held in Washington in 1981, wherein the system was described through presentations, demonstrations, and general discussions. The first day provide a BCAS background and described an overview of what is involved in implementation of a system like BCAS, avionics certification and flight operations, procedures and rules, and described the technical and operational performance of the system. The second day explained the architecture of the Active BCAS and its processing performance capabilities and a summary of test performance to date and the agency plan to test in an airline operation. This volume is a collection of briefings presented during the first day of the conference and handouts from both days. (Author)
