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.

This guidance standard was prepared in response to a need stated by air transport operators for uniformity in further subdividing the ATA Spec. 100 number system to better accommodate avionics systems. The ATA numbers are widely used in the maintenance community for inventory control, instruction manuals and equipment modification Service Bulletins.

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.

This standard establishes guidelines that should be observed during initial design, production and maintenance of avionics LRUs, and to present short-term strategies to minimize costs and impacts associated with decreasing availability of electronic components.

This document defines the aircraft industry's standards for Loadable Software Parts (LSPs) and Media Set Parts (MSPs). It describes the common principles and rules to be applied to any part of a data load system to ensure compatibility and inter-operability. It includes part numbering, content, labeling, and formatting of an LSP, and a Media Set containing LSPs.

This standard defines standards for loadable software parts and software transport media. It describes the principles and rules to be applied to any part of a data load system, to ensure compatibility and interoperability. It includes part numbering, content, labeling and formatting of loadable software parts and software transport media.

This document describes a secure internet facility for sending all types of aviation software using the world wide web (www). Software suppliers may use this document as a starting point for the construction of a secure web server utility. It provides sufficient flexibility and is compatible with numerous software distribution models. The file management structure is consistent with other ARINC standards for loadable software, and references ARINC 665 and ARINC 667 in particular.

With the emergence of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) as a tool to streamline the supply chain, the airline industry determined that a technology standard for both the RFID tag hardware and data needed to be developed. This is required so that industry-wide interoperability can be achieved. Fundamental requirements have been identified and agreed upon by the airline industry. These core requirements build the framework from which this standard was derived. The usage of an open standard UHF-RFID technology will benefit the entire airline industry. While the intent of this document is to address the usage of UHF-RFID tags on aircraft parts, the technology and benefits are applicable to other items that would be in airline inventory. To that extent, the term Product has been used in this standard. This document is specific to the requirements for and installation of UHF-RFID tags and does not address data usage or the tools and systems used to collect the data.

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.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a method for packaging aircraft software parts for distribution using contemporary media or by electronic distribution. This project intends to standardize and provide guidance for the storage of floppy based software, currently packaged in media set parts. This standard format can be then stored or distributed on a single physical media member (CD-ROM), or by electronic crate. The obsolescence of floppy disks drive an urgent need for this guidance.

This standard provides guidance to those who develop avionics test programs and the source documentation on which they are based. This includes guidelines for all steps and phases within the TPS life cycle.

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 provides guidance to ATLAS test programmers for developing, writing and documenting test programs in ARINC 626 ATLAS. This is a companion standard to ARINC 608A, Design Guidance for Avionics Test Equipment. It provides guidance to managers and system integrators for standardizing test programs and their documentation.

This standard describes the format for electronic distribution of aircraft software parts and other contents between aerospace business partners using a digital container referred to as an EDS crate. This EDS standard is intended to promote consistent, secure distribution of EDS content to any appropriate destination.

This standard describes the characteristics of a standard firmware loader for avionic shops. It is capable of copying digital information into memory devices installed in circuit card assemblies, Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs) and On-Board Replaceable Modules (OBRMs). It contains the recommendations of the air transport community concerning the design and development of firmware loader equipment.

This document provides guidance for using industry standards for developing an ESD control program tailored to meet specific user requirements. In addition, it provides uniform guidance for maintenance facilities based on industry ESD standards, and therefore should be accepted throughout the air transport industry. This document is not a stand-alone document - it is intended to be used with the referenced international industry standards.

This standard is a top-level guidance standard intended for the design of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE). It includes the definition of hardware and software needed for analog and digital signal testing using a Test Unit Adapter common interface. This standard describes the overall ATE system concept as well as the definition of the specific elements of those systems.

This guide has been written as an applications manual for writing avionics test specifications that conform to ARINC Specification 616. It provides advice for converting ATLAS test specifications into ATLAS test programs and implementing them on Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).This guide has been written as an applications manual for writing avionics test specifications that conform to ARINC Specification 616.

The primary purpose of BITE is to assist maintenance personnel in the proper maintenance of avionics systems in a cost-effective manner. A description of a Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) is included in this standard. The CFDS accumulates fault data, presents this data to a maintenance operator, and assists troubleshooting by performing diagnostic tests and performing verification testing after installation of a replacement unit.

This standard defines an airline-recommended subset of the Abbreviated Test Language for All Systems (ATLAS)intended to be used in conjunction with test systems that are compliant with ARINC 608A. ATLAS is a standard abbreviated English language used in preparation and documentation of test procedures that can be implemented with automatic or semiautomatic test equipment.
