This specification describes the general connectors, contacts, and backshells in their shape and characteristic for cabin systems for commercial aircrafts. ARINC 600, ARINC 404, and ARINC 801 connector specifications are published as independent standards.

This specification describes the general connectors, contacts, and backshells in their shape and characteristic for cabin systems for commercial aircrafts. ARINC 600, ARINC 404, and ARINC 801 connector specifications are published as independent standards.

ARINC 800 is the first industry standard intended for characterization of aviation-grade high-speed (Gbps) Ethernet links. The test methods are based on realistic representation of cabin networks. The notional cabling architecture is based on IFE seat distribution using multiple intermediate disconnects. Sequential testing is supported by building up number of connectors in the link. Test guidelines for mixed intermediate cable lengths are provided.

This document is based upon the SAE ARP5602 document, A Guideline for Aerospace Platform Fiber Optic Training and Awareness Education. ARINC Report 807: Fiber Optic Training Requirements is a subset of the SAE ARP5602 document designed to meet the requirements of the commercial air transport industry. Certification to the SAE ARP5602 document fulfills the requirements of ARINC Report 807. This document defines recommended general practices for training requirements of aerospace fiber optic systems. It is the intention of this document to outline proven training practices and general standards of workmanship for technicians engaged in aerospace fiber optic manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and repair for the air transport industry. It is also recommended that management and purchasing personnel receive fundamental training to familiarize themselves with the requirements of aerospace fiber optics.

This document will address measures pertaining to and directly associated with the maintainability and reliability of FSTDs throughout their entire life cycle, from initial specification and design to de-commissioning. Although the primary emphasis of this document is on full flight simulators (with motion and visual systems), it should be applicable in part or total to all FSTDs.

This document provides guidance on provision of SATCE systems in Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) for the benefit of flight crew training. This work builds upon that originally undertaken by International Air Transport Association (IATA) Flight Simulator Working Group in 2002, and further developed in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Doc. 9625 Vol 1, Part 2, Editions 3 and 4. This document is intended to be a practical starting point that can serve as the basis for future developments of SATCE.

This specification describes the general cable and wire characteristics recommended for use in cabin systems for commercial aircraft.

This document is the first of a multi-part specification that will provide a catalog of cabin connector and cables that may be used in ARINC Standard cabin systems, including In-Flight Entertainment. Part 1 describes connector and cable requirements and evaluation criteria for the interface components used in the integration of cabin systems. Future releases will define connectors, contacts, and termination methods in Part 2. Cables will be specified in Part 3.

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.

ARINC Specification 628, Cabin Equipment Interfaces (CEI) Part 6 Fiber Optic Cable Assembly General Specification, defines the minimum acceptable provisions for connectorized fiber optic cable assemblies used in permanently installed airframe wire bundles that are part of ARINC 628 supported systems. The intent is for the cable assembly supplier to use this specification as a guideline to provide the prospective IFE contractor with cable assemblies that have adequate quality and performance for the intended application. These assemblies are suitable for cabin systems applications only. Applicable guidelines not found in this specification may be found in Section 9 of ARINC Specification 628 Part 4A.

This document is based upon the SAE ARP5602 document, A Guideline for Aerospace Platform Fiber Optic Training and Awareness Education. ARINC Report 807, addressing fiber optic training requirements, is a scaled back version of the SAE ARP5602 document designed to meet the requirements of the commercial air transport industry. Certification to the SAE ARP5602 document fulfills the requirements of ARINC Report 807. This document defines recommended general practices for training requirements of aerospace fiber optic systems.

It is also recommended that management and purchasing personnel receive fundamental training to familiarize themselves with the requirements of aerospace fiber optics.

Guidance for the Use of Avionics and Software in Simulators is intended to simplify the additional functions required of avionics equipment used in simulators. Recommended simulator functions, data base harmonization, use of snapshot functions, and a new training scenario are included. The guidelines contained in the draft are expected to reduce the cost to design and install avionics equipment in simulators.

This standard preserves all of the technical concepts of ARINC 610. ARINC 610A encompasses the lessons learned since ARINC 610 was issued, provides additional information defining each simulator function and the responses required by each type, and creates guidance information relevant to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA).

This standard sets forth general philosophy and design guidance for using aircraft avionics equipment in simulators. Its goal is to improve simulator training by providing a better understanding among avionics designers, simulator designers, airframe manufacturers and airline simulator users in the use of aircraft avionic equipment in flight simulators. Full flight simulator, cockpit procedure trainer, cockpit system simulator or fixed base simulator, part task trainer (e.g., flight management system trainer), and maintenance training simulator guidance is included.

The purpose of this report is to illustrate to airfield and airport authorities the need for timely, accurate information regarding actual or planned changes to the physical airfield, recognize the changes in regulatory requirements in flight training, specifically visual database elements used in simulation, identify critical data elements for designing visual databases, and describe the elements and their uses in a simulated training environment. The list and descriptions of required visual database data elements will provide guidance to airfield and airport authorities and suppliers of data regarding minimum levels of data required to accurately create and maintain a visual representation of an airfield or other aircraft operating area. The report will also be used to provide information from airfield operators and managers concerning physical changes or additions to runways, taxiways, land-side gates, and the surrounding area.

This document intends to provide the reader with an overview of the importance of export control along with general information to consider. This is not a complete primer on the subject but is intended to give the reader a basic understanding of export issues in the flight simulation and training industry. To serve the widest audience, a worldwide view is taken; however, as the U.S. regulations and requirements are considered the widest reaching, these are given the majority of attention in the text. This document does not serve the purpose of discussing Intellectual Property (IP), classified information, or specific logistics of any of these processes. However, it should be known that the concepts and tenets in this document may be applied to IP issues in very similar examples. Furthermore, this document is not all inclusive of every issue that may be evident in a technology transfer event. The intricacies of export control are complex and are not attempted to be fully defined here.

There are many methods of providing data for use in simulation - Chart Driven Models (CDM), source code, binary code and printed format. This report deals with data provided in the form of binary format software that will be used for the generation, maintenance and update of training devices.
