MCDU consists of an alphanumeric keyboard and display unit capable of interfacing with a number of aircraft systems. Dedicated keys on the MCDU provide the means for system selection with programmable soft keys. ARINC 429 interfaces are used to communicate with participating systems.

This MCDU standard consists of the original ARINC 739 definition with enhancements to allow it to be logged on to up to two systems at one time. Alternate form factors are included to allow the MCDU to be introduced into a wide variety of airframes candidate for CNS/ATM upgrade.

This document defines a Head-Up Display (HUD) system intended for installation in all types of aircraft. It describes the physical form factors, fit dimensions, electrical interface definition and typical HUD functions, including the display of navigation and guidance information in the flight crew's forward field of view. The HUD accomplishes this by projecting images onto a combiner with symbology that conforms to the outside world view. Guidance for HUD architectures include single, twin, dual and HUD integrated with Primary Flight Display (PFD). This document is an practical guide for the design of federated equipment and integrated modular avionics.

Metadata definitions (XML) for all widgets, extensions, events, symbols, and associated data types.

ARINC 661 defines necessary interfaces to Cockpit Display Systems (CDS) used in all types of aircraft installations starting with the Airbus A380 airplane. The CDS provides graphical and interactive services to user applications within the flight deck environment. When combined with data from user applications, it displays graphical images to the flight deck crew. The document emphasizes the need for independence between aircraft systems and the CDS. This document defines interfaces between the CDS and the aircraft systems. This includes the interface between the avionics equipment and display system graphics generators.

This document provides installation standards for cabin equipment and related mechanical enclosures. It provides provisions for equipment attachment on overhead racks and monuments. The document provides a series of standard volumes and associated masses. Standardized packaging of cabin systems components is expected to yield simpler installation and maintenance of cabin equipment. This is expected to reduce the time and cost related to installing and maintaining cabin systems.

The purpose of this specification is to define standard cabin equipment enclosures and provisions for equipment attachment on monuments. This standard is intended to enable simpler installation and maintenance of cabin equipment, resulting in time and cost reduction.

This report defines the requirements and recommended practices for production testing of aircraft passenger seats and seat groups. Production testing is performed at the seat manufacturers' facilities prior to the shipment of the seats to the airframe manufacturers, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO), or airlines/operators for installation in the aircraft. Using this guidance, rework is minimized and schedules remain minimally affected.

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.

ARINC 628, Part 9 defines general architectural philosophy and aircraft infrastructure for the proper use and interface of various cabin information network related equipment. It specifies a generic on-board infrastructure with commercial server technology, high-speed data communication and exchange via wired and wireless LAN for a wide range of applications. Supplement 4 defines web-based interfaces for cabin control panels and recognizes current standards for commercial browsers and applications. It incorporates current network security practices, including reference to ARINC 842 Digital Certificates.

Cabin equipment installations tend to impose loads on aircraft electrical power systems not envisioned in the original airplane design. This standard provides guidance on the design of future aircraft air conditioning and equipment cooling systems. It also describes the environment in which cabin systems, including In-Flight Entertainment equipment are expected to operate.

ARINC Specification 628, Cabin Equipment Interfaces (CEI) Part 5 Parts Selection, Wire Design and Installation Guidelines, provides design and mounting guidelines for electrical installations, mainly for supplier of cabin furnishing equipment. Part 5 addresses several aspects of installation and is divided into five sections: Introduction, Parts Selection, Electrical Wire Design Guidelines, Wire Installation Guidelines, and Documentation Guidelines. Guidelines regarding design, safety, and other subjects relevant to acceptance of the end item are addressed. Notes explaining the reason for setting a guideline or suggesting methods for performing the task are provided in commentary.

ARINC Specification 628 Part 4 defines standards for the aircraft IFE Cabin Distribution System (CDS) wiring, connectors, power, identification codes, space envelopes and mounting principles. The equipment itself is not a subject of this specification because it may be unique to the system manufacturer or market place driven. Design guidelines are included for informational purposes as these guidelines impact the interfaces and installation of cabin equipment aboard the aircraft. The CDS, in daisy chain architecture, is the content of both Parts 4A and 4C of ARINC Specification 628. Part 4C presents the second generation also known as 2GCN of the daisy chain topology, as an evolution based on the experience gained with the first version of the CDS. The main difference is that the system in Part 4C is divided into two separated networks, one for data, connected to the CEC, and the other one for power, connected to the Aircraft Power Supply.

Cabin equipment interfaces use a standardized wiring topology defined in Part 4A. This standard defines a standard CDS using a daisy chain wiring topology. This standard defines standard wiring, connectors and installation requirements for a passenger seat network, overhead video network, and cabin management equipment network. Electrical and fiber optic networks are covered.
