Hi Joe,

In at least one of the cases of FAA RFPs (WAAS)that you are referring 
to, the choice of langague was mandated to be C.  However, in this case 
the FAA had already invested in a prototype system that was wriiten in C 
on PCs and they wanted to reuse some of this investment.  The 
contractors now doing the job still have to figure out how they are 
going to certify this system to the FAA's standards (namily DO-178B).  
While doable (maybe) with a C implementation (plus OS), it would be 
easier in a controlled subset of Ada.

Jim
