DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR AVIONICS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE

2011-06-03
CURRENT
ARINC663-1
ARINC Report 663 focuses on the many aspects related to component technical data and documentation including a common understanding of levels one - three maintenance (test, repair, re-certification). This includes defining the extent and format of OEM documentation to be delivered to the airline customers to support both the decision and technical requirements to accomplish level three maintenance; establishing minimum data requirements to support the airlines' decision relative to the accomplishment of level three maintenance (test solution, type of repair process, projected MTBF, modification potential, unit cost, alternative repairs, etc.); and identifying the minimum technical data requirements to support level three maintenance in airline shops for future avionics components (test, documentation).

GUIDANCE FOR AIR TRANSPORT SERVICE BULLETINS

2022-09-21
CURRENT
ARINC682
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.

GUIDANCE FOR AVIONICS SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT

1993-01-15
CURRENT
ARINC652
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.

GUIDANCE FOR DESIGN AND USE OF BUILT-IN TEST EQUIPMENT

1988-10-31
CURRENT
ARINC604-1
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.

GUIDANCE FOR ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICE UTILIZATION AND PROTECTION

2004-11-12
CURRENT
ARINC606A
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.

GUIDANCE FOR ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICE UTILIZATION AND PROTECTION

1992-01-01
CURRENT
ARINC606-1
The primary goal of this standard is to describe the nature of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and its effects on digital avionics equipment. It provides information concerning methods to protect against ESD damage which could originate in many different ways.

GUIDANCE FOR MATERIALS, PROCESSES, AND PARTS EQUIVALENCIES

2005-04-18
CURRENT
ARINC670
Industry rules and guidelines support/mandate equivalency, but provide very little guidance on how to realize MPP substitution. Currently, industry guidelines fail to provide adequate direction to maintenance facilities for material, process, and part equivalencies. Suitable substantiation procedures to be able to select alternate materials are demanded by the air transport industry. The purpose of ARINC Report 670 is to provide clear definitions for materials, processes, parts, substantiation requirements, decision boundaries and limitations, and a standard process for equivalency determination. This report is intended as general guidance for avionics maintenance facilities; however, this does not preclude its use for other sectors of aircraft maintenance as appropriate.

LOGICAL SOFTWARE PART PACKAGING FOR TRANSPORT

2015-07-31
CURRENT
ARINC641
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.
