ON-GROUND AIRCRAFT WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

2016-07-14

CURRENT

ARINC822A

This specification describes the functionality and interfaces of an Internet Protocol (IP)-based wireless communications system between an aircraft on the ground and a ground-based network using Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and/or cellular radios and protocols. The ground-based network will be primarily used to provide connectivity to an airline's back office or to its back-end maintenance systems although other uses are also possible when there is a need to transfer data to or from the aircraft's applications while it is taxiing or parked. Gatelink is the accepted industry term for this type of connection. This document is a major revision to ARINC Specification 822 released in 2008.

FUNCTION DEFINITION OF AIRBORNE MANAGER OF AIR-GROUND INTERFACE COMMUNICATIONS (MAGIC)

2014-12-12

CURRENT

ARINC839

This standard defines an Internet Protocol (IP)-based communication management function for data communications called the Manager of Air/Ground Interface Communications (MAGIC). This standard recognizes that the number of available off-board communication links is expanding (e.g., broadband satellite, broadband terrestrial, Gatelink), and that each link may be provided by a different service provider. In addition, each link may be available to the aircraft in specific flight phases and in specific geographic locations. As the industry continues to increasingly embrace IP-based communications, there is reason to define an aircraft routing function that provides standardized access by all aircraft subnets to available communication links.
