The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for the assignment, accomplishment, and reporting of investigations which exceed the regular workshop analysis and repair process for components. The operator, repair shop, and the component manufacturer should use this guideline to support a special investigation for aircraft components where additional attention is needed to fulfill reliability and authority requirements. This includes the process of assignment, the scope of accomplishment, and the content/style of the final report.

This document provides industry guidance to supplement ATA standards and airframe requirements, addressing gaps and vague areas to move suppliers/vendors and airframers toward a common standard for format and wording in Vendor Service Bulletins (VSB) for Air Transport components. This document supplements the VSB guidance of iSpec 2200, providing clarity of requirements and resulting in a common standard wording and format of VSBs from all suppliers on all aircraft types. The guidance in this document is intended to be applied to VSBs created and released subsequent to the release of the guidance document and will not require the retroactive update of VSBs released prior to the creation and release of the guidance.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a source of definitions of terms and acronyms commonly used in the air transport maintenance community for test and evaluation with an emphasis on terms applicable to BITE.

ARINC Report 847: Product Development Guidance for Maintainability and Testability (PDMaT) is intended to be used as guidance to enhance the design of avionic equipment, with a focus on maintainability and testability characteristics. It is a separate and parallel standard to ARINC Report 607: Design Guidance for Avionic Equipment. This document does not represent the complete formula for successfully designing and manufacturing avionics equipment or system. It does present the vision of the airline community based on extensive experience gained through the use of such equipment.

Avionics maintenance practices continue to improve through On-Board Maintenance System (OMS) recording. This standard defines the OMS which incorporates fault monitoring fault detection, BITE, and airplane condition monitoring system.

This standard is a top-level design guide for managing the development and maintenance of avionics software. It provides guidance for the design and development of avionics software for traditional ARINC 700-series equipment and IMA. This standard emphasizes the airline desire for user-modifiable software.
