3. Federal Aviation Administration DCL Trials – Test Status DCIT #18 (September 26, 2012) End to End Functional Testing – to date DTAP Build 2 (adds UM79 : CLEARED TO (position) VIA (route) & AOC Dispatch Out Copy ) - Run system test cases with Tech Center bench avionics -Run system test cases with Boeing and Airbus labs (multiple flight deck configs) -Exercised test scenarios with DCIT aircraft -Conducted Regression testing Documented / Socialized Findings Resolution(s) -All High PTRs and most others being addressed / resolved in DTAP Build 3 (Oct 1, 2012) -Build 3 also adds UM80 -Continue system testing for added functionality, and Regression 3 Outstanding PTRs High6 Medium10 Low12 3 Total discovered to date: 37

4. Federal Aviation Administration DCL Trials – Test Status DCIT #18 (September 26, 2012) Documentation – to date Concept / Requirements -Requirements Document -SSS System Test Cases - Exercising defined test procedures associated with testable requirements -Pass / Fail test cases are being tracked VRTM -Traceability with Requirements -Mapped with Test Cases -Association with documented PTRs -Categorized in association with DTAP Build / Releases PTRs / Reporting -All PTRs are being documented, tracked and socialized -Internal Data Comm program reporting on a weekly basis -E-E Functional Test Report (planned) -E-E Functional and Operational Test Report (planned) Working Schedule -Following test schedule to the extent possible. Adapting as constraints and programmatics impact the working schedule 4 4 Note: contract deliverables are being managed / documented between Thales/ITT and FAA personnel
