In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Raymond DeCerchio, Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), was the Designated Federal Official.
The first two days of the meeting consisted of a Subgroup 2 working meeting to finalize comments
and review editorial issues on the DO-yy3 “Airworthiness Security Methods and Considerations”
document. The third day was a plenary session for the committee to vote on whether to advance this
document to the Final Review and Comment (FRAC) phase.
Unlike most previous meetings, this was not a joint meeting with Eurocae WG-72. They are meeting
separately in July in Europe to continue work on ED-203, which will not be published with the
initial SC-216 DO-yy3 document.
The outline for this meeting summary is organized around the published agenda. SC-216
presentations and documents can be found at the committee’s Workspace site at
http://workspace.rtca.org . Contact either SC-216 co-chair for access to the site.
Details of document edits are generally incorporated by reference in this summary. The agenda was
published in advance of the meeting, and is available from the RTCA website.

Day 2
Working group session
The working group discussed the FAA’s proposed Five Year Plan for cyber security and the
proposed revised Terms of Reference (ToR) for SC-216 until shortly after lunch. The group then
continued reviewing DO-yy3 in more detail for editorial issues.
Day 3
Plenary session
Dan Johnson, co-chair, kicked off the meeting and introductions were made again around the room
and on the phone for those who had not attended the previous two days.
The summary of the twenty-third meeting of SC-216 was reviewed and approved.
A motion was made to enter the DO-yy3 document into the FRAC phase. No objections were
received and consensus was declared by Dan Johnson.
The document and meeting schedule was reviewed. The FRAC period will run from June 24 to July
24, 2014. The committee working group will meet August 5-7 to review the comments received
during FRAC, with a separate plenary session on August 22 to vote on approval of DO-yy3 for
publication. The RTCA Program Management Committee (PMC) will meet on September 23, 2014
and vote to accept the document for publication. RTCA leadership was present at this meeting and
confirmed this plan.
The group discussed the potential future role of the committee once the primary deliverables defined
in the TOR are completed (DO-326A, DO-355, and the upcoming DO-yy3). Interest has been
expressed that a standing group be instantiated to provide cyber security support and advisory
capability to RTCA and the FAA. The group will endeavor to complete a revised TOR for review
and acceptance at the August meeting. As potential input to that effort, WG-72 OK’d general
distribution of that committee’s proposed revised TOR.
Business completed, the meeting was adjourned by late morning.
