Discrete Input/Output Impedance of ARINC Characteristics
  Staff: Roy Oishi
Reference: 04-171/ABN-001
Effective: August 6, 2004 - Indefinite
Summary:
This Technical Application Bulletin provides guidance to avionics manufacturers and aircraft systems integrators for attaining proper operation when interfacing discrete signal outputs from one avionics set with discrete signal inputs of other avionics. Some newer avionics are configured with discrete outputs that include short circuit protection. Such equipment will fault when working into large capacitive loads. Guidelines are provided herein for attaining interoperability.

Information on the Comparison of AEEC Procedures with Other Standards Bodies
  Staff: Roy Oishi
Reference: 05-069/ABN-04
Effective: N/A

Summary:
This report was prepared in answer to questions by some AEEC members about how AEEC procedures contrast with other standards setting bodies. It compares the methods used by AEEC to develop consensus documents for publication as ARINC Standards with three other standards bodies: IEEE, AIAA, and SAE. In addition, the requirements for acceptance as American National Standards, administered by ANSI, are also compared.

This report is offered for information only. There is no intent to make any modifications to existing AEEC procedures in order to conform to ANSI requirements.

Software Data Loading, Networking and Security
  Staff: Roy T. Oishi
Reference: 06-111/ABN-012
Effective: March 1, 2006 to
December 31, 2007

Abstract:
This TAB was synthesized from a number of email threads exchanged in late 2005. ARINC Report 615A: Software Data Loader Using Ethernet Interface covers software data loading over Ethernet. However, certain basic assumptions were made about the network over which the SDL protocol would operate. This TAB highlights those assumptions and described some of the premises behind them and some considerations for the future.

UML Model and Data Sample Files for ARINC Specification 816
  Staff: Sam Buckwalter
Reference: 06-014/ABN-09
Effective: January 19, 2006 - Open

Abstract:
ARINC Specification 816: Embedded interchange Format for Airport Mapping Database, Section 3.0 and 4.0 define the schema for the airport mapping database. Section 5.0 provides a virtual airport data sample in the ARINC 816 coding. In this bulletin this information is provided digitally. It can be used to design ARINC 816-compliant data conversion software and to review the airport data sample in detail.
