10、., and the ARINC Standards ARINC organizes aviation industry committees and participates in related industry activities that benefit aviation at large by providing technical leadership and guidance. These activities directly support aviation industry goals: promote safety, efficiency, regularity, an
11、d cost-effectiveness in aircraft operations. ARINC Industry Activities organizes and provides the secretariat for international aviation organizations (AEEC, AMC, FSEMC) which coordinate the work of aviation industry technical professionals and lead the development of technical standards for airborn
12、e electronic equipment, aircraft maintenance equipment and practices and flight simulator equipment and used in commercial, military, and business aviation. The AEEC, AMC, and FSEMC develop consensus-based, voluntary standards that are published by ARINC and are known as ARINC Standards. The use of
13、ARINC Standards results in substantial technical and economic benefit to the aviation industry. There are three classes of ARINC Standards: a) ARINC Characteristics Define the form, fit, function, and interfaces of avionics and other airline electronic equipment. ARINC Characteristics indicate to pr
14、ospective manufacturers of airline electronic equipment the considered and coordinated opinion of the airline technical community concerning the requisites of new equipment including standardized physical and electrical characteristics to foster interchangeability and competition. b) ARINC Specifica
15、tions Are principally used to define either the physical packaging or mounting of avionics equipment, data communication standards, or a high-level computer language. c) ARINC Reports Provide guidelines or general information found by the airlines to be good practices, often related to avionics main
16、tenance and support. The release of an ARINC Standard does not obligate any organization or ARINC to purchase equipment so described, nor does it establish or indicate recognition or the existence of an operational requirement for such equipment, nor does it constitute endorsement of any manufacture
17、rs product designed or built to meet the ARINC Standard. In order to facilitate the continuous product improvement of this ARINC Standard, two forms are included in the back of this document: An Errata Report solicits any corrections to existing text or diagrams that may be included in a future Supp
18、lement to this ARINC Standard. An ARINC IA Project Initiation/Modification (APIM) form solicits any proposals for the addition of technical material to this ARINC Standard.

An organization must be aware of th
31、e existence of and the consequences of non-compliance with the applicable export regulations; this report intends to provide an overview of the issues in this regard. A consideration or explanation may include the similarities and differences with European, Asian, and North American generalities wit
32、h regards to export controls. In short, the United States has fairly restrictive export regulations as opposed to European regulations. 1.1 Scope and Intent This document intends to provide the reader with an overview of the importance of export control along with general information to consider. Th
33、is is not a complete primer on the subject but is intended to give the reader a basic understanding of export issues in the flight simulation and training industry. To serve the widest audience, a worldwide view is taken; however, as the U.S. regulations and requirements are considered the widest re
34、aching, these are given the majority of attention in the text. This document does not serve the purpose of discussing Intellectual Property (IP), classified information, or specific logistics of any of these processes. However, it should be known that the concepts and tenets in this document may be
35、applied to IP issues in very similar examples. Furthermore, this document is not all inclusive of every issue that may be evident in a technology transfer event. The intricacies of export control are complex and are not attempted to be fully defined here. To accurately address an organizations expor
36、t control issues they should consult with experienced, knowledgeable professionals in this area. 1.2 Benefit This report is intended to provide an overview that will allow the flight simulation and training industry to be more knowledgeable when dealing with export control and regulation issues. Thi
37、s knowledge coupled with the advice and assistance of legal counsel may allow an organization to avoid major delays and reduce risks when dealing with import and export control issues, as well as promote compliance with national and international laws and regulations. 1.3 Legal Implications Failure
38、to comply with export control laws and regulations may result in serious consequences. The consequences can be against the organization, as well as against individuals involved. These may include financial fines, personal criminal liability of individuals, imprisonment, suspension of import/export p
39、rivileges, or other punitive actions. 1.4 Reference Documents This report is intended to be a high-level overview of export control for technical professionals in the flight simulation training industry. Throughout this document, references are made to governing entities, statutes, regulations, and
40、agreements. In ARINC REPORT 444 Page 2 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY all cases it is intended that the latest versions of the referenced documents apply, as well the sources of the terms and definitions used in this ARINC Report. The reader should ensure that the most current versions of all documents, webs
41、ites, and contacts should be referenced when researching or considering compliance issues. ARINC REPORT 444 Page 3 2.0 TERMINOLOGY 2.0 TERMINOLOGY 2.1 General To understand the implications of export control and compliance, one must understand the terms used in the various laws and regulations. Thes
42、e terms are mostly standardized throughout the world but may have minor variances depending on where they are encountered. For more information, see Appendix B for references to specific national and international entities. In all cases it is intended that the latest versions of the referenced docum
43、ents and information sources apply, as well the sources of the terms and definitions used in this ARINC Report. The reader should ensure that the most current versions of all documents, websites, and contacts should be referenced when researching or considering compliance issues. An organization sho
44、uld extensively research all information independently of this document. 2.1.1 Document Terms In this document the term flight simulation and training industry is intended to encompass all aspects of a training program, such as: Simulation training devices Simulator support equipment Engineering ser
45、vices Maintenance services Training services Training materials Update services 2.2 International Treaties and Regimes The intent of this document is to guide the reader to a positive outcome when exporting technology. The majority of the issues in export control are based on the applicability of Un
46、ited States regulations. See Chapter 3 for more information on these specific U.S. issues. Internationally, there have been several collaborative efforts on the behalf of groups of nations to standardize export requirements, and the agreements and treaties become the basis of national regulations of
47、 the participants. The following sections are brief descriptions of some of these efforts. 2.2.1 Wassenaar Arrangement The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) was established in order to contribute to regional and international security and stability by promoting transparency and greater responsibility in tr
48、ansfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations. The majority of trading countries adhere to the requirements of the Wassenaar Arrangement. Participating states seek, through their national policies, to ensure that transfers of these item
49、s do not contribute to the development or enhancement of military capabilities which undermine these goals and are not diverted to support such capabilities. ARINC REPORT 444 Page 4 2.0 TERMINOLOGY The WA Participating states: Have agreed to maintain national export controls on listed items. These controls are implemented via national legislation. Have agreed to report on transfers and denials of specified controlled items to destinations outside the Arrangement. Are guided by agreed Best Practices, Guidelines, or Elements.
