EUROCAE (WG-100 Remote and Virtual Towers)

European standards body; Working Group 100 writes the ED-240 series for remote and virtual towers.

Overview

EUROCAE develops European standards for aviation equipment and systems. Its Working Group 100 (WG-100) covers remote and virtual towers and produces the ED-240 series, the Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards (MASPS) for Remote Tower Optical Systems. The series is MASPS in every edition, never MOPS. The current in-force edition is ED-240B, published July 31, 2023, which integrates surveillance sensors with the optical system; ED-240C is in draft with a target of December 31, 2028. EUROCAE documents are copyrighted, purchased, and linked at source rather than rehosted. EUROCAE also recognizes IFATSEA as the voice of air traffic safety electronics personnel. See the ED-240A entry for the standard family itself.
