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.

SECOND GENERATION AVIATION SATELLITE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIRCRAFT INSTALLATION PROVISIONS

2019-12-23

CURRENT

ARINC761-6

This ARINC Standard defines the installation characteristics of second generation L-band satellite communication systems. It provides the traditional form, fit, function, and interfaces for the installation of satcom equipment for use in all types of aircraft. Description of avionics equipment (e.g., Satellite Data Unit (SDU), Antennas, etc.) are included. Supplement 6 adds references to new Diplexer/Low Noise Amplifiers (DLNAs) defined in Supplement 8 to ARINC Characteristic 781: Mark 3 Aviation Satellite Communication Systems. The five new DLNAs are intended to protect Inmarsat Classic Aero and SwiftBroadband (SBB) satcom equipment from ground-based cellular sources, such as cellular Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATCt). The DLNAs are categorized by desired features and service (e.g., new DLNA versus drop-in replacement, LTE and/or ATCt protection, Classic Aero and/or SBB service).

CURRENT

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.

CURRENT

ARINC822A

This specification describes the functionality and interfaces of an Internet Protocol (IP)-based wireless communications system between an aircraft on the ground and a ground-based network using Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and/or cellular radios and protocols. The ground-based network will be primarily used to provide connectivity to an airline's back office or to its back-end maintenance systems although other uses are also possible when there is a need to transfer data to or from the aircraft's applications while it is taxiing or parked. Gatelink is the accepted industry term for this type of connection. This document is a major revision to ARINC Specification 822 released in 2008.
