The objective of this work package is to incorporate as well as to disseminate the main results of the FLYSAFE project into existing standardisation activities. The main outputs shall be proposed at national, European and international levels (e.g. EUROCAE, RTCA, ARINC, SAE, IATA, ICAO, and WMO).
Interaction with the following standardisation aspects will be taken into account for:

hardware resources
• software development
• interfaces, communication systems and system architectures
• databases and database management
• conformance tests
• performance and operational issues related to de-icing
• weather data links from ground to aircraft and vice versa
• format and display of weather information in the cockpit
  

Interaction activities will address application standards ranging from airborne electronics design up to airborne electronics systems integration and support. The expected goal of the incorporation of FLYSAFE results into international standards shall have the following technical, economical and social impacts:
* to ensure enhanced capabilities to the airborne electronics by improving the aircraft operational capabilities
* to reduce time and cost for designing, engineering and certification of airborne electronics
* to reduce weight, volume, power and to improve reliability, availability and supportability of airborne electronics
* to reduce maintenance costs
* to improve flight safety and passenger comfort and to reduce flight travelling costs
* to increase the market share of the European Industry
* to enforce the European standardisation activities
* to assist in setting up improved regulations
Particular emphasis will be placed in liability issues for the meteorological data. This problem will be addressed with reference to the use of ADS-B data. Through the EEAG, the expertise of EASA will be brought to bear on this subject.
