13、M Published: June 6, 2011ii FOREWORD Aeronautical Radio, Inc., 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 aviatio
14、n industry goals: promote safety, efficiency, regularity, and 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
15、 and lead the development of technical standards for airborne 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 publ
16、ished by ARINC and are known as ARINC Standards. The use of 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 airlin
17、e electronic equipment. ARINC Characteristics indicate to prospective 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 f
18、oster interchangeability and competition. b) ARINC Specifications 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 a
19、irlines to be good practices, often related to avionics maintenance 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 equi
20、pment, nor does it constitute endorsement of any manufacturers 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 exi
21、sting text or diagrams that may be included in a future Supplement 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.

45、ight Data Acquisition and Recording System (DEFDARS) primarily intended for airline use. As such, this guidance will include specific requirements necessary to accommodate mandatory flight data recording and other flight data acquisition needs plus the requirements to ensure customer controlled inte
46、rchangeability of equipment in a standard aircraft installation. 1.2 Basic Principles The objective of this characteristic is primarily to describe equipment and installation standards capable of meeting the mandatory flight data recording requirements of the FAA and other regulatory bodies and seco
47、ndarily to describe certain features to provide the flexibility and the expansion capability needed to implement a version of an Aircraft Integrated Data System (AIDS) or other special purpose data acquisition system. 1.2.1 Relationship to ARINC Characteristic 573 ARINC Characteristic 573, which was
48、 first developed to meet the requirements for expanded flight data recording of 1973, described an acquisition system with mainly analog inputs reflecting the equipment and the technology in use at that time. With the work of the AEEC Systems Architecture and Interfaces (SAI) Subcommittee, digital t
49、echnology was applied to practically all equipment in aircraft introduced in the early 1980s and after. This decision, the acceptance of the digital signal standard of ARINC 429, and the new packaging concepts of ARINC 600, made the ARINC 573 acquisition unit obsolete in a new technology aircraft. Thus, the decision was made to develop a “second generation ARINC 573” system to take its place in future aircraft. To preserve the good properties of the ARINC 573 system and to protect the considerable investment in data readout and system test equipment, many features of the ARINC 5
