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 standard specifies the form, fit and functional definitions for a VHF transceiver capable of voice and data communications. The VHF transceiver supports, 8.33 kHz AM and 25 kHz AM voice, and VDL-2 (31.5 kbps) data link communications as defined by ICAO. ARINC 631 is a companion standard.

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.

This standard sets forth the characteristics of a terrain awareness and warning system intended for installation in aircraft with digital signal interfaces. Describes the desired operational capability of the equipment, the standards necessary to ensure interchangeability, form factor, and pin assignments.

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.

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.

This document defines standardized connectors intended for use on rack-mountable avionics equipment. It is aligned to the latest version of MIL-C-81659. Supplement 2 was updated to support cabin equipment applications. It corrects intermateability control dimensions that are provided for single shell plug connectors.

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.

This standard provides design guidance for development and installation of a QAR, whose basic functions are to store digital data supplied at the output of an ARINC 573 FDAU or other similar acquisition unit and provide an easy access to this stored data for systematic ground processing for performance monitoring, maintenance monitoring or other purposes.

This standard provides guidance to ATLAS test programmers for developing, writing and documenting test programs in ARINC 626 ATLAS. This is a companion standard to ARINC 608A, Design Guidance for Avionics Test Equipment. It provides guidance to managers and system integrators for standardizing test programs and their documentation.

This standard provides general and specific design guidance for the development of a DME/P, which provides slant range distance from an aircraft to a selected DME ground facility. For landing purposes, the DME/P complements the angle MLS/ILS with precise range data.

The PMAT is intended for use in the airplane maintenance environment allowing remote access to onboard systems. This standard describes the aircraft interface, operational capabilities and standards necessary to achieve interoperability with onboard systems, stand-alone internal or external mass memory devices, and ARINC standard printers.

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.

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.
