My Areas of Interest
I'm not a regular Wikipedia contributor -- rather in bursts when I get some free time. During my active periods, I monitor and contribute to the areas below.

My contributions

 * Substantially revised the ACARS article.

My To Do List

 * There probably should be a parent article title "Aeronautical Data Links". It would refer to ACARS and ATN at the least.
 * Add content (perhaps a new article) on VHF digital link (VDL) comparing the various modes.
 * Add references to the altitude page for the various deinitions I added.

My contributions

 * Created DO-248B and RTCA Standards.
 * Created DO-232
 * Created DO-219
 * Created DO-212
 * Created DO-205
 * Created DO-242A

My To Do List

 * Eventually every RTCA document should have its own page with an outline of contents.

My current projects

 * I see a need to an article on Aeronautical telecommunications network. Many of the RTCA standards I have been researching deal with this topic.  I should soon have enough information to produce a draft article.
 * Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast has recently had a lot of good material added. This article could be brought up to featured article status.  I think I'll tackle that before writing the new ATN article.
 * User:Aarky/ADS-B
 * Add figures from www.ads-b.com. Check on permissions first.

 * Explain relationship to OSI 7-layer model.
