2020-07-13
CURRENT
ARINC800P4-1
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.

ENHANCED AIRBORNE FLIGHT RECORDER

2017-05-29
CURRENT
ARINC767-1
This document is intended to provide design guidance for the development and installation of an Enhanced Airborne Flight Recorder (EAFR). The EAFR standard addresses combinations of any or all of the following in a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), a Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) function, a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) function, a data link recording function, and an image recording function. This document does not address the overall flight data recorder system requirements but considers interface and system standards. This document does not replace ARINC Characteristic 747 which defines DFDRs. This document addresses the details of the voice recording function but does not describe the audio distribution system. It does not replace ARINC Characteristic 757 which defines CVRs. The EAFR may be used in a single or dual-redundant installation as permitted by regulation. Both configurations are addressed in this Characteristic.

CURRENT
ARINC777-2
This Characteristic provides the definitions for the physical form and fit dimensions, the electrical interfaces, and the functions of an independent power supply for cockpit voice recorders or crash survivable recorders that combine voice with other recording functions. The RIPS is used to provide backup power that is independent of the aircraft generated power buses. Supplement 2 introduces a description of charge rates for alternate power sources and revises the electrical interface to accommodate monitoring of the RIPS status.

FLIGHT DATA RECORDER

2011-06-07
CURRENT
ARINC747-3
This document provides design guidance for the development and installation of Flight Data Recorders (FDR) which may utilize solid state memory and which may employ some means of data compression. The Flight Data Recorder will be utilized with a Flight Data Acquisition Unit (FDAU) (ARINC Characteristic 573) or a Digital Flight Data Acquisition Unit (DFDAU) (ARINC Characteristic 717) to accommodate mandatory flight data recording and other flight data acquisition needs. The document provides guidance and information to ensure customer controlled interchangeability of equipment in a standard aircraft installation and in data retrieval. The system capability was expanded to accommodate a data bus speed of 1024 words per second.

CURRENT
ARINC718A-4
Mark 4 Air Traffic Control Transponder (ATCRBS/MODE S) describes an Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System/Mode Select (ATCRBS/Mode S) airborne transponder with Extended Interface Functions (EIF). The ATC surveillance system is made up of airborne transponders and ground interrogator-receivers, processing equipment, and antenna systems. Mode S is a cooperative surveillance system for air traffic control with ancillary communications capabilities. ARINC 718A supports elementary surveillance. Provisional enhanced surveillance functionality is also defined as a customer option. The Mark 4 transponder, like its predecessor, will support TCAS functions.

AIRBORNE RECORDER FILE FORMAT

1992-01-01
CURRENT
ARINC657
This document defines the characteristics necessary to standardize the airborne recorder download file format in order to facilitate data import, transcription, and exchange. A standardized data format will reduce the variety of readout equipment required for airborne recorder data transcription. This document defines the detailed architecture of the Recorder Standard Output (RSO) file. The architecture is a tagged file structure within which many different files and their formats can be supported. The structure is necessary to support newer recording requirements for flight data, data link, audio, and image recording. This structure is intended for use with all civil recorders and should support use with military recorders.

ARINC644
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.

ARINC757-6
This document provides guidance for the development and installation of a Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR) with solid-state memory. Supplement 6 provides the following: " The optional interfaces to data link services and On-Board Maintenance System (OMS) were revised to clarify that if the optional interface is implemented, then it shall be implemented in a specific way. " The power input section was revised to clarity the need for the CVR to be designed to accept 115 Vac power and 28 Vdc power from the aircraft. " The time correlation requirement was revised to specify that the CVR should receive its time signal from the same source as the Flight Data Recorder (FDR). " The OMS interface was updated to describe the correct ARINC 429 Sign Status Matrix (SSM) encoding for new CVR designs.
