FOREWORD
1. This is a new handbook. It is approved for use by the Federal Aviation Administration,
Department of Transportation. It is also available for use by all other DOT agencies and their
personnel.
2. This handbook covers the development of reliability, maintainability and availability (RMA)
requirements for the National Airspace System (NAS).
3. This document will guide Service Units and acquisition managers in preparing procurement
packages for major system acquisitions. RMA-related sections of these packages include
Information for Proposal Preparation, System-Level Specifications, Statements of Work, and
Data Item Descriptions. The handbook not only establishes RMA contractual requirements
but also prehensive steps to ensure that fielded systems ply
with them. It provides guidance to help managers reduce NAS-Level requirements to levels
of detail and characteristics that can readily be monitored and verified. Additionally, it
mends procedures to help managers evaluate proposals, monitor design development,
and conduct effective tests and verifications.
4. Comments, suggestions, or questions on this document should be addressed to the Federal
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., ., Washington, DC, 20591, System
