AIRCRAFT SERVER, COMMUNICATIONS, AND INTERFACE STANDARD
2021-11-10
CURRENT
ARINC679
ARINC Report 679 defines the functional characteristics of an airborne server that will support Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) and similar peripherals used in the flight deck, cabin, and maintenance applications. The document defines how EFBs will efficiently, effectively, safely, and securely connect to the airborne server in a way that offer expanded capabilities to aircraft operators. The airborne server has two main functions, first to provide specific services to connected systems, and second to provide centralized security for the EFB and its data. This document is a functional airborne server definition. It does not define the physical characteristics of the server.

TIMELY RECOVERY OF FLIGHT DATA (TRFD)
2021-08-06
CURRENT
ARINC681
The difficulty in locating crash sites has prompted international efforts for alternatives to quickly recover flight data. This document describes the technical requirements and architectural options for the Timely Recovery of Flight Data (TRFD) in commercial aircraft. ICAO and individual Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) levy these requirements. The ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and CAA regulations cover both aircraft-level and on-ground systems. This report also documents additional system-level requirements derived from the evaluation of ICAO, CAA, and relevant industry documents and potential TRFD system architectures. It describes two TRFD architectures in the context of a common architectural framework and identifies requirements. This report also discusses implementation recommendations from an airplane-level perspective.

INTERSYSTEM NETWORK INTEGRATION
2021-06-24
CURRENT
ARINC688
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for integrating previously standalone cabin systems such as cabin management systems, In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems, In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) systems, galley systems, surveillance systems, etc. Resource sharing between systems can reduce airline costs and/or increase functionality. But, as systems expose their internal resources to external systems, the risk of an intrusion that could degrade function and/or negatively expose the supplier’s or airline’s brand increases. This document provides a recommended IP networking design framework between aircraft systems to reduce the operational security threats while still supporting the necessary intersystem routing.

CABIN EQUIPMENT NETWORK BUS
2020-06-19
CURRENT
ARINC854
This standard defines a new cabin network bus. While ARINC Specification 485: Cabin Equipment Interfaces, Part 2, Physical Layer – In-seat Protocol defined a low-speed serial communications interface between electronic equipment in the passenger seat, it is design-focused on obtaining status from in-seat electronic equipment. ARINC Specification 854 is a messaging protocol but does not preclude using the bus for video streaming or multicast. Cabin Equipment has evolved from the very simple to quite sophisticated systems. The resulting communications needs have surpassed the ability of ARINC 485 to provide the necessary data capacity and response times. The basic requirements for low latency, full duplex, elimination of ARINC 485 Master/Slave polling and lower weight drives the selection of 100BASE-T1 (per IEEE 802.3) as the preferred bus format.
