The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of data networking standards recommended for use in commercial aircraft installations. These standards provide a means to adapt commercially defined networking standards to an aircraft environment. It refers to devices such as bridges, switches, routers and hubs and their use in an aircraft environment. This equipment, when installed in a network topology, can optimize data transfer and overall avionics performance.

This specification provides Ethernet physical parameters and data link layer specifications for use in a commercial aircraft environment. This specification provides general and specific guidelines for the use of IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet, 2000 edition. Physical layer and Medium Access Control (MAC) sub-layers are expected to comply with the Open System Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model to enable maximal utilization of off-the-shelf components, both hardware and software, for aviation use. The Ethernet Physical layer specification defines the electrical and optical parameters for the 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-FX Ethernet implementations. This specification references ARINC Specification 600: Air Transport Avionics Equipment Interfaces for definition of copper-based implementations of the Ethernet Physical layer.

This document sets forth the characteristics of an Aircraft Interface Device (AID) intended for installation in commercial aircraft. The intent of the document is to provide general and specific design guidance for the development of an AID for use in retrofit applications associated with aircraft typically developed between the mid-1970s through the 1990s, that primarily utilize ARINC 700 series avionics, and that interface with the aircraft via ARINC 429 and ARINC 717 unidirectional buses and Hi/Lo discrete signals. This document describes the desired operational capability of the AID and the standards necessary to ensure interchangeability.

This specification describes the features and functionality desired of a communications link using Internet Protocols (IP) to provide services between a parked aircraft and the ground IP network infrastructure. This wireless communication link, commonly referred to as Gatelink, provides a connection between the airport and the on-board aircraft network. Gatelink will enable airlines to communicate in a secure manner with the aircraft network and appliances.

This standard sets forth the characteristics of an ADDCS designed for installation in commercial transport aircraft. The ADDCS is intended to process, convert and multiplex analog and discrete signals in order to provide them in digital format described in ARINC 429.

This standard describes the basic requirements for an AHRS specifically designed for installation in commercial transport aircraft. The AHRS is an attitude and heading sensor that provides outputs in digital form for guidance and display. The AHRS replaces the traditional vertical and directional gyros.
