This standard defines the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), a VHF data link that transfers character-oriented data between aircraft systems and ground systems. This communications facility enables the aircraft to operate as part of the airline's command, control and management system.

This standard sets forth the desired interface characteristics of the data link service provider to the data link user. Provides data link users the information needed to develop applications and to encourage uniformity and standardization (to the extent possible) among various data link service providers. Contains general and specific guidance concerning the interfaces between the data link service providers and both the airborne and ground user.

This standard defines the air transport industry's standards for the transfer of digital data between avionics system elements. Part 2 provides the formats of data words with discrete bit encoding.

A generic data transfer interface is defined for use between avionics computing equipment that exchanges binary message-oriented data. This interface was developed so that various manufacturers can partition Air Traffic Services (ATS) applications and protocols in different manners between various equipment.

The purpose of ARNC 633 is to specify the format and exchange of Aeronautical Operational Control (AOC) communications. Examples of ARINC 633 AOC Structures/Messages include: Flight Plan, Load Planning (i.e., Weight and Balance and Cargo Planning Load Sheets), NOTAMs, Airport and Route Weather data, Minimum Equipment Lists (MEL) messages, etc. The standardization of AOC messages enable the development of applications shared by numerous airlines on different aircraft types. Benefits include improved dispatchability and reduce operator cost.

This standard consolidates and defines various interface parameters, except for power, that may be required to support the operation of an IFES on any airplane model. Supplement 2 adds an Ethernet interface between the aircraft Cabin Services System (CSS) and In-Flight Entertainment System. This interface may be used to exchange information between the CSS and The Passenger Service System (PSS), passenger address/entertainment, airplane mode, navigation, and operational data.

The purpose of this specification is to support the exchange of certain Aeronautical Operational Control (AOC) air-ground and ground-ground messages. These messages are defined in this specification, apart from those defined in ARINC Specification 620, because they have unique qualities. Like the messages defined in ARINC Specification 620, their usage necessitates a single definition.

The purpose of ARNC 633 is to specify the format and exchange of Aeronautical Operational Control (AOC) communications. Examples of ARINC 633 AOC Structures/Messages include: Flight Plan, Load Planning (i.e., Weight and Balance and Cargo Planning Load Sheets), NOTAMs, Airport and Route Weather data, Minimum Equipment Lists (MEL) messages, etc. The standardization of AOC messages enable the development of applications shared by numerous airlines on different aircraft types. Benefits include improved dispatchability and reduce operator cost.

This document defines the exchange of Aeronautical Operational Control (AOC) message formats used for air-to-ground communication and ground-to-ground communication. ARINC Specification 633 simplifies the integration of AOC software from different suppliers, intended for use by different airlines, on different aircraft types. It is expected that AOC applications will be hosted on an Electronic Flight Bags (EFB). Supplement 2 includes an extensive updates to the Flight Plan schema per ICAO Flight Plan 2012. New XML schemas are added to define AOC messages for airport weather, air traffic information services (ATIS), crew list, passenger list, notice to airmen, pilot report, and hazard advisory.

The characteristics of a High Frequency Data Link (HFDL) communications system are defined by this standard. It defines avionic system components and the associated HF ground system. ARINC 634 and ARINC 635 are companion standards.

This standard defines the application text formats for character-oriented ATS messages that can be transmitted over the ACARS data link. Several ACARS data links are available, including but not limited to VHF, HF and satellite. The messages defined herein are not specific to any data link. This standard is limited in scope to character-oriented applications.

This document describes the functions to be performed by airborne and ground components of the VDLM2 to successfully transfer messages from VHF ground networks to avionics systems on aircraft and vice versa where the data are encoded in a code and byte independent format. The compatibility of VDLM2 with OSI is established by defining a set of services and protocols that are in accordance with the OSI basic reference model. The compatibility with the ATN protocols is achieved by defining a set of interfaces between the VDLM2 subnetwork protocol specification and the Mobile Subnetwork Dependent Convergence Function (MSNDCF). The SNDCF is defined in the ICAO ATN SARPs.

This document was prepared in conjunction with Supplement 18 to ARINC Specification 429, Part 1. It is an archive of all ARINC Specification 429 Supplements, currently published in parts. The technical content of each Supplement (unchanged in contents and in form) are reproduced for historical reference.

ARINC 429 defines the most-widely used data transfer method used within and among avionics systems. It specifies the physical data bus, the electrical characteristics, and the data word formats. Supplement is 18 is a routine update that assigns new ARINC 429 labels, equipment IDs, and System Address Labels (SAL). The document is a re-mastering to bring it up-to-date with the latest ARINC Standard formats and styles.

This standard describes the functions to be performed by the airborne components of the HFDL to successfully transfer messages between HF ground stations and avionics systems on aircraft where the data is encoded in a bit-oriented format. ARINC 634 and ARINC 753 are companion standards.

FLYHT Aerospace Solutions and Spectalux Avionics have teamed up to integrate FLYHT’s Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS) 228S component into Spectralux’s Envoy Future Air Navigation System (FANS) Data Link Unit (DLU). Together the systems offer a streamlined upgrade option for airlines to obtain a cost-effective, FANS-over-Iridium (FOI) solution – a requirement for flying over the world's oceanic regions.

ARINC 429 is the most widely used data transfer method used in aviation. This document provides the standard formats for data parameters and status words transferred between avionic systems. It specifies the physical data bus, electrical characteristics, and data formats. Supplement is 19 is a routine update that defines new ARINC 429 data words, new labels, new equipment IDs, and new System Address Labels (SAL).

The Auto-Tracking Antenna System, a new portable, ground-to-air antenna from Persistent Systems LLC in New York, incorporates aircraft into the Wave Relay mobile ad hoc network (MANET) to boost connectivity, communications, and distribution of critical sensor data, including full-motion video, on the networked battlefield. The precisely aimed tracking system works with the MPU5 radio and Wave Relay MANET to optimize connectivity and reliable communications to enable manned and unmanned aircraft to communicate further than ever before, officials say.
