a major company that develops and operates
systems and
d services

to ensure the
h efficiency,
ffi i
operation, and performance of the aviation and
travel industries.
y It was organized in 1929 by four major airlines to
provide a single licensee and coordinator of radio
communications

be shareholders, although all airlines and aircraft
can use ARINCs services.

A specification, which defines how avionics equipment and systems

should communicate with each other.
Interconnected by wires in twisted pairs. The specification defines
the electrical and data characteristics and protocols, which are
used.
Employs a unidirectional data bus standard known as Mark 33
Digital Information Transfer System (DITS).
Messages are transmitted at a bit rate of either 12.5 or 100 kilobits
per second to other system elements, which are monitoring the
bus messages.
Transmission and reception is on separate ports so that many
wires may be needed on aircraft, which use a large number of
avionics systems.
Installed on most commercial transport aircraft including; Airbus
A310/A320 and A330/A340; Bell Helicopters; Boeing 727, 737, 747,
757, and 767; and McDonnell Douglas MD-11.
