This standard describes stand-alone windshear warning system comprised of a windshear warning computer and associated cockpit displays. The system uses data pertaining to aircraft movement with respect to air movement to detect and annunciate a windshear condition. As an option, it may also provide instrument guidance to the crew indicating optimum pitch to endure the windshear encounter.

This document describes the functions to be performed by airborne and ground components of the VDLM2 to successfully transfer messages from VHF ground networks to avionics systems on aircraft and vice versa where the data are encoded in a code and byte independent format. The compatibility of VDLM2 with OSI is established by defining a set of services and protocols that are in accordance with the OSI basic reference model. The compatibility with the ATN protocols is achieved by defining a set of interfaces between the VDLM2 subnetwork protocol specification and the Mobile Subnetwork Dependent Convergence Function (MSNDCF). The SNDCF is defined in the ICAO ATN SARPs.

This document describes Airborne Collision Avoidance System X (ACAS X) functionality and provides the necessary interface definitions and protocols to accommodate the requirements of RTCA DO-385: Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Airborne Collision Avoidance System X (ACAS X) ACAS Xa and ACAS Xo) (latest version applies) and the requirements of RTCA DO-386: Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Airborne Collision Avoidance System X (ACAS X) ACAS Xu (latest version applies). Additionally, this document describes interfaces and protocols necessary to accommodate Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) based on the reception of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data and Traffic Information Services–Broadcast (TIS-B) data. The equipment becomes ACAS X with ADS-B IN applications added, as defined by RTCA DO-317C: Minimum Operational Performance Standards for (MOPS) for Aircraft Surveillance Applications (ASA) Systems (latest version applies).

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.

The characteristics of a TCCS within the Automatic Flight System are defined in this standard for throttle control. The standard also provides general and specific design guidance for the development and installation of a TCCS.

This standard defines the characteristics of a full-duplex telephone service for Aeronautical Passenger Communications through a network of ground stations. The frequency bands of 1670-1675 MHz are used to receive and 1800-1805 MHz are used to transmit.

Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)ý Analog addresses the need for standard TAWS installations in older aircraft that have analog equipment interfaces. The analog unit is intended as a replacement for ARINC Characteristic 594: Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) equipment. The document is intended to compliment ARINC Characteristic 762: Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) for later model aircraft having digital equipment interfaces.

This standard describes the characteristics of a standard firmware loader for avionic shops. It is capable of copying digital information into memory devices installed in circuit card assemblies, Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs) and On-Board Replaceable Modules (OBRMs). It contains the recommendations of the air transport community concerning the design and development of firmware loader equipment.

The purpose of this specification is to define test procedures to verify the implementation of the Controller Area Network (CAN) interface for Galley Systems, as defined in ARINC Specification 812A, Part 1.

The purpose of this specification is to define the general Galley Insert (GAIN)standardization philosophy, provide comprehensive equipment interfaces, and disseminate the most current industry guidance. Part 1 covers the Controller Area Network (CAN) data interface attachments, envelopes, and data content to be considered between all galley equipment using a Galley Data Bus as described within this specification. This document is intended as the successor and replacement for ARINC Specification 812. This document contains significant improvements to CAN data interfaces.
